Skid Row (downtown) - текст песни
Skid Row (downtown)
Alarm goes off at seven And you start up-town. You put in your eight hours For the powers That have always been. (Sing it child) 'Til it's five-pm...
"Then you go..."
Downtown Where the folks are broke. You go Downtown Where your life's a joke. You go Downtown Where you buy a token. You go... Home to Skid Row.
"Yes you go..."
Downtown Where the cabs don't stop. Downtown Where the food is slop. Downtown Where the hop-heads flop in the snow... Down on Skid Row.
Uptown you cater to a million jerks. Uptown you're messengers and mailroom clerks. Eating all your lunches at the hot-dog carts. The bosses take your money and they break your hearts.
And Uptown you cater to a million whores. You disinfect terrazzo on their bathroom floors. The jobs are really menial you make no bread. And then at five-o'clock you head
"By subway..."
Downtown Where the guys are drips. Downtown Where they rip your slips. Downtown Where relationships are no go. Down on Skid Row.
Poor, all my life I've always been poor. I keep askin' God what I'm for. And he tells me, "Gee, I'm not sure." "Sweep that floor, kid!" Oh! I started life as an orphan, A child of the street, here on Skid Row! He took me in gave me shelter A bed, crust of bread and a job. Treats me like dirt and calls me a slob, Which I am... So I live
Downtown That's your home address, you live Downtown When your life's a mess, you live Downtown Where depression's just status quo. Down on Skid Row.
Someone show me a way to get outta here. 'Cause I constantly pray I'll get outta here. Please won't somebody say I'll get outta here. Someone gimmie my shot, or I'll rot here!
