Hobo Man

(Hazen)

Well I went to work last night about half past ten
I was two hours late and I won't go back again
It was my first day on the job and it really was a drag...


I don't wanna work, I don't want a job, don't wanna do anything at all
I want a paycheck, I want some income, but I'll just wait for a call
Don't wanna get up, don't want no boss
I just want a dream and that's all


You want the easy life, you want it all
Then, go see the hobo man lying down the hall
You want a high price - he will tell you how
To live on nothing at all


You deserve it, and even less
It might put you in stride
I really think it's too late now, but we'll see if you've got the balls
Go and see the hobo man to live on nothing at all


You planned a big break, and you made a mistake
There are just too many like you to fill your place
And the public has a million pictures of your type of face


Oh, the easy life, ain't easy to get
You know for sure you can't buy that Corvette
There ain't no cure - you must endure
Because you know you can't afford the rent


You want the easy life, you want it all
Then, go see the hobo man lying down the hall
You want a high price - he will show you how
To live on nothing at all


Life has a high price - you must buy yourself to really be free
People are owned by the people who win
And all your dreams can't change what has been
There ain't no chance to start over again
You're older now and approaching your end
No dreams, no dreams, no dreams, no dreams - again
No dreams, no dreams, no dreams, no dreams - begin
