There is a song out there now called 'Underwear Goes Inside The Pants', which is actually a stand-up comedy act by Greg Geraldo put to music. It makes some good points about how we treat the down trodden.
----------------------------------------
We’re in one of the richest countries in the world,
but yet the minimum wage is lower now than
it was thirty five years ago.
There are homeless people everywhere.
This homeless guy asked me for money the other day.
I was about to give it to him and then
I thought he was going to use it on drugs or alcohol.
And then I thought, that’s what I’m going to use it on.
Why am I judging this poor bastard.
People love to judge homeless guys.
Like if you give them money they’re just going to waste it,
he's gonna waste the money.
Well, he lives in a box, what do you want him to do?
Save it up and buy a wall unit?
Take a little run to the store for a throw rug and a CD rack? He’s homeless.
I walked behind this guy the other day.
A homeless guy asked him for money.
He looked right at the homeless guy and says
Why don’t you go get a job you bum?
People always say that to homeless guys,
get a job like it's always that easy.
This homeless guy was wearing his underwear outside his pants.
I’m guessing his resume ain’t all up to date.
I’m predicting some problems during the interview process.
I’m pretty sure even McDonalds has a “underwear goes inside the pants” policy.
Not that they enforce it very strictly,
but technically I’m sure it's on the books.
