about

Hard-driving dystopian anthem calling attention to recent, misguided regulations preventing the feeding of homeless people by private citizens, expressed in vivid lyrics from the perspective of a homeless veteran.

lyrics

Please don’t feed me out here on the street
I might stay out here forever if you give me bread to eat
I had a job I lost it I don’t know where it went
9 dollars 34 hours ain’t enough to pay the rent

3,000 hours of sunshine
3,000 hours in a day
3,000 hours of sunshine
Venice of America
Venice of America

Please don’t feed me be a party to a crime
I served my country proudly and I was doing fine
But Diego stepped on something now I dream of flying feet
So I just curse at strangers buying hot dogs at the beach

3,000 hours of sunshine
3,000 hours in a day
3,000 hours of sunshine
Venice of America
Venice of America

Please don’t feed me or my buddy Fred
His reasoning eludes me he lives inside my head
He won’t take those pills ‘cuz they make his stomach hurt
He shares with me the secrets of death and rebirth

3,000 hours of sunshine
3,000 hours in a day
3,000 hours of sunshine
Venice of America
Venice of America

Now if you feed me let me tell you what will be
They’ll shmear you up with honey and they’ll string you up a tree
They’ll sic the bees upon you they will sting you till you die
And with your last breath you will emit a silent cry
The cry will reach the heavens, it will pierce the iron wall
The angels get uptight and say ‘it’s time to make that call’
Gabriel gets a text he says ‘I’m gonna hit ‘em hard
They’re messing up my night up on Las Olas Blvd.’
Fire and brimstone from the sky begin to fall
Flash mobs of red cows up from hell begin to crawl
But Gabriel is ready he takes careful aim and then
He blows the bovines up and sends them back to hell again - singing

3,000 hours of sunshine
3,000 hours in a day
3,000 hours of sunshine
Venice of America
Venice of America
Venice of America
