A song I made inspired in part by the Littlest Hobo series I watched as a kid and my series of short term jobs which became long term, also inspired by "Voyage au bout de la nuit"

Lyrics
Biding his time, collecting his dimes, so long, so go
Stay sane in his mind, the changes he finds, so go, Lil hobo

Arrived on the scene with his eyes looking keen
Ordered to pick up the mop and go clean
Pecking the order at the pit of the team
Little by little they ripped up his dream
Bag on his back, not keen to go back
Walked through the city, the night that was black
Look for the train, go follow the track
Be a lone wolf don't go with the pack

A chercher des mille et les cents
Ou que garder ses dents on devient indécent
La vérité blesse, il vaut mieux que je mente
Du boulot au boulot ma chance que je tente
Bouger sans cesse juste pour changer d'air
Des vieux chagrins, des nouvelles misères
Pourchassé, poursuivi, un bouc émissaire
Un toit et à manger, le stricte nécessaire

On se donne du mal à pas être soit même, quand même
Tentative d'être heureux en vain, villain
Biding his time, collecting his dimes, so long, so go
Stay sane in his mind, the changes he finds, so go, Lil Hobo

Gradually becoming older and wary
Not knowing tomorrow, the unknown is scary
The life of the Hobo is unordinary
Most of these tasks do seem unnecessary

Biding his time, collecting his dimes, so long, so go
Stay sane in his mind, the changes he finds, so go, Lil Hobo
On se donne du mal à pas être soit même, quand même
Tentative d'être heureux en vain, villain

Biding his time, collecting his dimes, so long, so go
Stay sane in his mind, the changes he finds, so go, Lil Hobo

Told them I'd only be there for a second
Passing my time 'till the next session beckons
Most of them don't really care what I reckon
My eyes supervise and they're constantly checking
Told them I'd only be there for a minute
Packed up the box where they told me to bring it
Can't understand it, I must be a cynic
Hand me a contract, I told them to bin it

On me l'a dit que les rêves s'oublient
De fil en aiguille tel les défunts parties
Changer d'air sans cesse, à se retourner sa veste
Délaissé, on te laisse, on se presse vers les pompes funestes
Fonce tout droit avec la tête à l'ouest
Grotesque, déteste comme la vie te teste
Creuses promesse aux enfants qui naissent sans richesse

Se dépêcher de pêcher avant que cela soit trop tard, bobard
Prendre l'air occupé, pas se faire repérer, rigolard, tocard
Biding his time, collecting his dimes, so long, so go
Stay sane in his mind, the changes he finds, so go, Lil Hobo

Vagabonder avec un sac bondé
Pourchassé par chaque condé
Les semelles usées
Ras le sol les pieds
Les passants qui passent ne sont pas inquiets

Biding his time, collecting his dimes, so long, so go
Stay sane in his mind, the changes he finds, so go, Lil Hobo
Se dépêcher de pêcher avant que cela soit trop tard, bobard
Prendre l'air occupé, pas se faire repérer, rigolard, tocard
Biding his time, collecting his dimes, so long, so go
Stay sane in his mind, the changes he finds, so go, Lil Hobo
