Are you homeless tonight
Is your heart filled with fright
Do you wonder just how you'll survive?
Are your children ashamed
Just to mention the name
Of the shelter where now you reside?
Do you feel like a fool
As they go off to school
Tell me sir, are you homeless tonight
When your job was outsourced
You were finally forced
To seek housing that causes such pain
It was not in your plans
And you don't understand
The whole thing just seems so insane
You're still looking for work
Though you feel like a jerk
Tell me sir, are you homeless tonight?
When your house was foreclosed
The indignities rose
Yes, you lost everything you held dear
Now you're surrounded by fear
And it's almost a year
Tell me sir, are you homeless tonight?
