about

“Old Homeless Man” è un boogie interpretato con vitalità creativa e freschezza; un ponte lanciato verso le sonorità di Magic Sam, John Lee Hooker e Canned Heat.
Nello spirito del blues, il brano è un’attestazione di solidarietà dedicata ai cosiddetti “ultimi della società”: gli anziani che non hanno fissa dimora.
Il modello economico neoliberista impone lo smantellamento delle strutture del welfare: nessuna mano tesa a chi “rimane indietro”. “Old Homeless Man” è dedicato alla categoria meno tutelata, più debole ed esposta.
Il brano è prodotto da Ciqala Records e Side 4, il video è prodotto da Tv Eye.

lyrics

I saw an old man with a shabby trench coat
digging through the garbage cans

Pushing around a shopping cart
full of blankets and bags of junk

Lying down to get some rest
a dirty torn couch as a nest

Old homeless man
health insurance in a garbage can,
Old homeless man

A tire on fire his source of heat
smoking rubber, what a treat!

Begging for some spare change,
stench of piss for one mile range

Cans of food, who needs a fridge
having a meal right under the bridge

Old homeless man
health insurance in a garbage can
Old homeless man
social pension in a garbage can
Old homeless man
all your life in a garbage can
