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
