Street Philosopher

 

Hey, dude! Get over yourself.

Sure, you never asked to be,

but here you are.

It’s just the way it is.

Anyway, it’s only a gig.

You know, play a few tunes.

Tell a couple of jokes.

Make a bit of money.

Money’s good. Right?

It pays for the bus ride,

and when you get to your stop,  

end of journey. Right?

Sure, the bus goes on,

but you ain’t on it.

If you get my drift.
