about

Neighbors speculate about what will happen to the destitute family. Joe refuses to take any assistance.

lyrics

CHORUS
I hear The Bean family is out on their ass!
I hear he lost it all.
A Bomb took out his whole building.
Nothing left but a hole
Everything he owned was invested right here
Didn’t he have insurance?
He didn’t believe in it
Said he had faith in the system!
Didn’t expect to be bombed

JAUNDICE
I heard they’re sleeping
in a shelter.

A NEIGHBOR
I’d take him in but his
pride won’t let him

CHORUS
It’s a shame.
It’s a damn shame
It’s a cryin’ shame
It’s a cryin’ shame
He said they could take
the shirt off his back
And he’d bounce right back.

EDWARD
I don’t know

A NEIGHBOR
I don’t know
ANOTHER NEIGHBOR
I don’t know

JOE
I just don’t know.
