It was a homeless man in Hollywood who got me thinking
We'd just flown in from San Francisco; we'd been flying
And driving for weeks This day I saw a homeless man on
The street in Hollywood I felt the usual mix of sorrow for him
And anger at a society that makes a man live like this
Later on I thought about it more he affected me differently
He really looked together really organised He was a survivor
I'm sure his life is really tough but I felt a deep sense of
Respect for him much more than pity Then I asked myself
Why did I react this way It struck me that here in this crazy
World there was a man who drives no car who flies no plane
Who heats no home; in a time of global warming his CO2
Emissions are pretty much zero This homeless man in
Hollywood is a model urban citizen
I on the other hand I live this life of good intentions
I travel the world I try to be aware of the earth I sing my songs
I look and hope for change But out on the road I fly everyday
I drive everyday I heat my home and burn up so much fuel
That if everyone lived like me we'd need about 4 planets
Just to keep it all going Shit
Funny how a homeless man in Hollywood got me thinking
Men like him just walk the walk and men like me
Well we talk a good talk
It was a homeless man in Hollywood
Homeless
