From the recording Take Two

Lyrics

There’s a beggar woman
Dressed Persian like
With a sign that reads
I dunno, I never read it

She walks between cars
Holding the sign for drivers to see
Black print, God something, maybe make peace
I dunno, I never read it

She’s fat
She’s asking for money
Begging it from my pocket to her plate
And some people do which I hate

If she’s gonna beg
I want her to smell
I want her to wear rags and have scars
I want her to be hungry and I want it show

That’s awful I know
Insensitive
Cold-hearted
What else?

But to see her you’ll know
And you’ll feel it too
The last thing you want
Is a beggar better than you

Don’t think too long
I don’t think too long
I don’t think too long
I don’t think too long
I don’t think too long
I don’t think too long
I don’t think too long
About her

Because to see her you’ll know
And you’ll feel it too
The last thing you want
Is a beggar better than you

Don’t think too long
I don’t think too long
I don’t think too long
I don’t think too long
I don’t think too long
I don’t think too long
I don’t think too long
About her

Because to see her you’ll know
And you’ll feel it too
The last thing you want
Is a beggar better than you
