Roughsleepers Lyrics

What kind of world do we live in

Where desperate people are given

A concrete step to lay their head?

All alone and sleeping on a floorway

A house is not a debenhams doorway

And a cardboard box is not a bed.

Roughsleepers

Shopkeepers

Moving them on

Roughsleepers

Streetsweepers

Like dust and they're gone

What kind of world have they fled

What have they seen and not said?

Someone's put them on the street

Running scared from a broken home

Feeling safer just to be alone

We can help them get back on their feet

Roughsleepers

Shopkeepers

Moving them on

Roughsleepers

Streetsweepers

Like dust and they're gone

Living life on the run

They're still people when it's said and done

Somebody's daughter, somebody's son

Roughsleepers

Shopkeepers

Moving them on

Roughsleepers

Streetsweepers

Like dust and they're gone

What kind of world do we live in

Where desperate people are given

A concrete step to lay their head?

Roughsleepers

Shopkeepers

Moving them on

Roughsleepers

Streetsweepers

Like dust and they're gone
