Image from Songs from the street: The underworld of Indonesian buskers - SMH April 18, 2015
we pengamen
stain the streets with
disposable music
so they say
but
we got to prick a conscience or two
we pengamen
get locked away
tossed into an underworld
of shame
but
still
we busker on
we got to prick a conscience or two
we pengamen
are filth
a worthless underclass
so they say
but
our feet beat the streets
we busker on
and on
we got to to prick a conscience
we got to put some soul
some tender music soul
in your shoes
