Fresh back
On the street
From prison
A pumped up
Hilarious Hercules
Forced to sleep
Under a bridge
Along with
The broken
And dead
Wind blown umbrellas
Now, yet another
Up-rooted
Member of the homeless
Flashing his middle finger
At these so called modern times
Not even a bottle of wine
To keep him company
The whining engines
Of passing cars
Echoing off the
Concrete and steel
Ripping and tearing
At his overblown ego
shredding it into strips
He knows it wont be long
Before he returns to a cell block
By his own choice
Not knowing anything
But a life of crime since his youth

Fresh back
On the street
From prison
A pumped up
Hilarious Hercules
Forced to sleep
Under a bridge
Along with
The broken
And dead
Wind blown umbrellas
Now, yet another
Up-rooted
Member of the homeless
Flashing his middle finger
At these so called modern times
Not even a bottle of wine
To keep him company
The whining engines
Of passing cars
Echoing off the
Concrete and steel
Ripping and tearing
At his overblown ego
shredding it into strips
He knows it wont be long
Before he returns to a cell block
By his own choice
Not knowing anything
But a life of crime since his youth
