Beggars Can’t Be Choosers

Can you help me? I asked hopefully
Not a handout, just some empathy
He said god helps those who can help themselves
So I’ll just take your last Hail Mary for myself

(‘Cause) in this world of users
There's winners and there's losers
And beggars can't be choosers
With all of these abusers around here…

I've been working towards a higher ground
But it's nothing like the truth I've found
You can toil until your dead and gone
But you’ll never take it with you to that world beyond

There’s a hole in my heart where hope used to be
When the first thing to die is the humanity

Because in this world of users
There's winners and there's losers
And beggars can't be choosers
With all of these abusers around here…

Here at the bottom of this great divide
where inequity is amplified
lives a monster who won’t get his fill
till ninety nine percent of us lie deadly still

Because in this world of users,
Phonies and accusers
Swindlers and abusers
Cronies and the schmoozers
There’re winners and there’re losers
And beggars can't be choosers around here
