Old man sitting on the porch at daybreak
staring out into the rain
battered old suitcase at his feet.
On the move again.
Car pulls up and the woman pours out;
follows the path up the hill,
newspaper shielding hair from rainfall
skinny cappuccino spills.
[chorus]
Pack it up, buddy, now move it along,
Better get back on the road.
Time to sing your eviction song,
Time to collect what's owed.
Famine factory,
Moveable feast.
Lipstick smile on sharp white fangs
slick business card in hand,
old man refuses to meet her eye
stubborn as a watering can.
Notarized contracts signed and sealed
Actions overdue...
she apologizes for inconvenience,
he tells her what to do.
[chorus]
Pack it up, buddy, now move it along,
Better get back on the road.
Time to sing your eviction song,
Time to collect what's owed.
Famine factory,
Moveable feast.
Back in the car she lights a smoke
from the packet on the parcel shelf,
"What he say?" her colleague asks.
"He told me to duck myself."
[chorus]
Pack it up, buddy, now move it along,
Better get back on the road.
Time to sing your eviction song,
Time to collect what's owed.
Famine factory,
