And another song is born.

🎸 “Begging in the Wrong Place” (Outlaw country style, Johnny Cash meets satire, rolling rhythm like “Folsom Prison Blues” or “Ring of Fire”)

(Verse 1 – The Homeless Truth)
🎶 Down on Main Street, man’s got a sign,
🎶 Cup in his hand, beggin’ for a dime.
🎶 Folks walk past, don’t even see,
🎶 But the real beggars sit in D.C.

(Chorus – The Great Begging Game)
🎶 Oh, they beg in suits, they beg in ties,
🎶 Stealin’ your time with a grin and a lie.
🎶 They shuffle the deck, play the same old hand,
🎶 While the real workin’ man can’t even stand.

(Verse 2 – The Lobbyist Hustle)
🎶 Penthouse office, mahogany desk,
🎶 Callin’ up Congress, cuttin’ them checks.
🎶 They ain’t askin’ for dollars, no, that’s too small,
🎶 They beg for laws so they can take it all.

(Chorus – The Great Begging Game, Repeat)
🎶 Oh, they beg in suits, they beg in ties,
🎶 Stealin’ your time with a grin and a lie.
🎶 They shuffle the deck, play the same old hand,
🎶 While the real workin’ man can’t even stand.

(Bridge – The Politician's Con)
🎶 Election time, they beg for votes,
🎶 Talkin’ real sweet ‘bout bridges and roads.
🎶 But when the count’s in and the race is won,
🎶 They only remember the man with the funds.

(Final Chorus – The Reality Check)
🎶 Oh, they beg in suits, they beg in ties,
🎶 Stealin’ your time with a grin and a lie.
🎶 They got their mansions, they got their land,
🎶 While the poor man’s still holdin’ out his hand.

(Outro – The Hard Truth)
🎶 So if you’re out there beggin’, take my advice,
🎶 Go to the thieves, where they roll the dice.
🎶 They don’t mind beggars, just wear a disguise,
🎶 And beg in a suit, you’ll do just fine.
