Dime comes from experiences outside and around the Detroit Medical Center.  Taking many moments to speak with the homeless that frequently passed by the hospital.  Though these words are prompted by these men and women, they are fed with the emotion from personal experiences living on the street.  With the continuing economic failings, anyone can become homeless.  It only takes one step to fall.

Dime

Posted on 24th August 2011 in Lyrics

Say buddy can you spare a dime?
I need some help.
Have a swig to pass the time.
Waiting ever longer at the end of the bread line.

Hey mister it’s no joke.
Have you got a smoke?
Have you got a light?
Cause the fire has been taken from my sight.

Yes sir can I live with you?
Kiss your ass just to get some stew.
A dog’s blanket to kill the chill
Hold it all above me and submit the bill.

Welcome to my reality,
The kind you just don’t see.
For a dime I’ll tell the tale,
Of the tragedy of tooth and nail.

Hey buddy give me a break.
I’ve made some mistakes.
Be careful or you’ll be here too,
Begging for smokes and a bottle of brew.

Hey you can you pave the way?
For a future that’s lost it’s way.
Say buddy can you spare a dime?
Not another speech to weigh on my mind.
