Homelessness, homelessness,

Think it’s a state of bliss?

We’ve got news – news for you:

It ain’t no gas to freeze your ass!

(4 count)

Oh sure – blame the poor.

Victimhood ain’t no good

But empowerment can make a dent.

(4 count)

Homelessness spells hopelessness.

We all need a safe warm place

Where alienation is displaced.

We don’t want more shelters – or food banks.

Let’s cut the numbers in the homeless ranks.

(4 count)

Homelessness is a disgrace.

For this city of ours to face.

So government help us out.

Let children have – a stable place.

Everyone’s happier, without a doubt.

Homelessness is OUTrageous

It’s time to call a halt!

We have to learn the reasons why

It’s surely someone’s fault.

Who profits from our poverty?

Who stands and make the rules?

The system has to change!

Chorus:

Sing for peace and social justice

March for peace and social justice

Work for peace and social justice

And Housing for us all!

Homelessness is OUTrageous

We people struggle still!

We’re tired of teensy handouts

And no POLiticians’ will.

The governments hear CEE-ee-os

The corporations rule

The system has to change!

Chorus:

Sing for peace and social justice

March for peace and social justice

Work for peace and social justice

And Housing for us all!
