lyrics

Out here on the corner,
Just trying to make a buck.
All the troubles in the world
Got me down on my luck.
These people keep walking on by.
Some throw money in my hat.
Others just keep on walking.
Well, I expected that.

And I know
That playing on the corner won't
Get me anywhere
And I know
That it might not be that good,
But it makes me feel alright.

Out here on the corner,
Same shit just a different day.
Same people keep walking on by.
Some throw money my way.
Others just keep on walking
As if they have some place to go.
Feels like I have no place to go to.
Feels like I have no home.

And I know
That playing on the corner won't
Get me anywhere
And I know
That it might not be that good,
But it makes me feel alright.

about

Not Ben Shin Omaha, Nebraska

Nobody was playing with me so I played with myself. I couldn't do music good so I made the songs short. I couldn't be Ben Shin so I became Not Ben Shin.
