Hello there, would you like to buy a copy
The magazine that shows what we're about
To become a employed vendor, you have to be homeless
And sign the code of conduct then your done
So you can no doubt find me
Standing in a high street
Shouting out big issue nice and loud
It only costs a pound!!!
(big issue big issue)

Where are you I'm so starving
I've got no food, can not eat tonight
I sleep under doorways
The bleak street gardens
Until those thugs come set my beard alight
So without your donations
What kind of people are you
Walk away when asked for petty change
I'm didnt wanna do this
Just want to work for money
And hopefully I'll be eating well tonight
Yes eating well tonight

Don't want coffee, sandwich or no blankets
Just buy this mag from me (big issue big issue)
I dont want your sympathy dont even want your
dear respects(big issue big issue)

Don't want coffee, sandwich or no blankets
