Cold Cold Ground

Call me digger, I don't have no other name Don't want no hassle next time I'm making my claim Long ago and far away My dad was an animal but that's okay Hitched to the city, now I'm here to stay Begging on the cold, cold ground Some people cuss and kick or spit in your face Some just slip you a quid and quicken their pace If you were me, the roles reversed Don't try to tell me you'd escape the curse Every alternative's so much worse Than begging on the cold cold ground Beg, beg, begging The rain keeps hammering down Beg, beg, begging Begging on the cold, cold ground I got smooth white skin, so I do much better than some Some girls mother me, some men wanna have fun Late tonight when you're in bed Or sat up surfing on the World Wide Web You'll forget the beggar boy you just met Begging on the cold, cold ground Beg, beg, begging The rain keeps hammering down Beg, beg, begging Begging on the cold, cold ground Don't kid yourself that you're immune The 21st Century will be here soon Fucked in a gutter, howling at the moon And begging on the cold, cold ground Beg, beg, begging Why don't you give me a pound? Beg, beg, begging Begging on the cold, cold ground Am I alright? You might well ask A sop to your conscience as you walk on past You sad motherfuckers can kiss my arse I'm begging on the cold, cold ground
