Lyrics
Man standing on the corner talking to the sky
I heard him say today I'd rather die
My wife has left me and I'm all alone
I lost my job and they took my home
It echoes to the burning fire of his pain
My ten year old dropped out of school and joined a gang
I said it's a shame, it's a shame the way it be
Somebody send me an angel to please look down on me
Subjected to eating at St. Vincent de Paul
I feel like Humpty Dumpty who had a great fall
Powdered eggs for breakfast, for lunch a cup of soup
Where I'll sleep tonight, I have no clue
I said it's a shame with this recession, it's a shame the way it be
Somebody send me an angel, please look down on me
Gold is on the rise and so is crime
This is how the Ponzi scheme was designed
They promise you quick results with very large returns
Check out your bank account baby 'cause you've been burned
I said it's a shame, it's a shame the way it be
Oh, send me an angel, please look down on me
The Euro's strong, the dollar's kind of weak
We go to Wal-Mart to buy us something cheap
If we can't afford it we stick it in our pants
Slip on some tennis shoes and say catch me if you can
I said it's a shame, shame the way it be
Oh, angel of mercy, please look down on me
