]
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 its five pm
then you go
downtown folks are broke
you go downtown when your life's a joke
you go downtown where you buy your token and you go
home to skid rowx2
yes you go
downtown where the cabs dont stop
downtown where the food is slop
downtown where the hop heads flop in the snow
down on skid row
up town you catter to a million jerks
up town you're messager and mailroom clerks
eaten all your lunches at the hot dog carts
the bosses take your money and they broke your hearts
up town you catter to a million whores
you disifinct factory on the bathroom floors
the morning tribulation and afternoon's a curse
and five o'clock's even worse
that's when you go
downtown
where the guys are drips
downtown where they rip your slips
downtown where relationship's no go
down on skip row
down on skip row
down on skip row
down on skip row
down on skip row
down on skip row
down on skip row
Poor all my life I've always been poor
I keep asking 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 streets
here on skip row
he took in gave me shelter a bed crust of bread and a job
treats me like dirt calls me a slob which I am
so I live
downtown
that's your home address
you live downtown
where your life's a mess
you live downtown
where depression's just status quo
down on skip row
someone show me a way to get out of here
cuz I constantly pray I'll get outta here
please won't somebody say I'll get outta
someone give me my shot or I'll rot here
Show me how and I will I'll get outta here
I'll start climbing up hill and get outta here
someone tell me I still could get outta here
someone tell lady luck that I'm stuck here
gee sure it will be swell to get outta here
bid the gutter farewell and get outta here
I'll move to heaven and hell to get outta skid
I'd do dunno I what to get outta skid
but a hell of a lot to get outta skid
people tell me there's no way to get outta skid
but believe me I gotta get outta skid row
