For My Friends

For my friend there are no sunny days There's no fair weather For my father there's no home For his dog there's no bone For my mother There's no money There's never been any Take it down to the right Where the brave come for free Make no mistake Down by the water that's me Just like him I stick my feet in Just like her I'm under shade Just like you there's no easy way And just like me I'm on a blue way For my friend there's no easy way There's no deep slumber For his body's never full And his appetite's a bull And his eyes are pure hunger For my sister there's no lovers There's never been any Take it down to the right Where the brave come for free Make no mistake Down by the water that's me Just like him I stick my feet in Just like her I'm under shade Just like you there's no easy way And just like me I'm on a blue way Look out There's no easy way No cure for AIDS They can't get rid of cancer There's no sign of dancer I'm all alone I'm on that road And if you see me You drive right by me You run me down You wear me down
