Very hard not to notice
this man in the street
He wears these nice threads
and fancy shoes on his feet

"And for today only
new lamps for old"
To hear him tell it
a deal worth more than gold

"I'm trading light for darkness
Sight for your blindness
Love for indifference
and I'll throw in a some kindness"

He is as convincing
as any soul one can meet
But today no one is buying
from this miserable cheat
