《Skid Row(Downtown)》歌词

[00:00:00] Skid Row - The Hit Crew (热歌组合)

[00:00:06] Alarm goes off at seven

[00:00:10] And you start up-town

[00:00:16] You put in your eight hours

[00:00:19] For the powers

[00:00:20] That have always been

[00:00:25] Sing it child

[00:00:27] 'Til it's five-pm

[00:00:36] "Then you go "

[00:00:37] Downtown

[00:00:39] Where the folks are broke You go

[00:00:41] Downtown

[00:00:42] Where your life's a joke You go

[00:00:44] Downtown

[00:00:45] Where you buy a token You go

[00:00:49] Home to Skid Row

[00:00:56] "Yes you go "

[00:00:57] Downtown

[00:00:59] Where the cabs don't stop

[00:01:01] Downtown

[00:01:02] Where the food is slop

[00:01:04] Downtown

[00:01:06] Where the hop-heads flop in the snow

[00:01:10] Down on Skid Row

[00:01:15] Uptown you cater to a million jerks

[00:01:18] Uptown you're messengers

[00:01:20] And mailroom clerks

[00:01:21] Eating all your lunches

[00:01:23] At the hot-dog carts

[00:01:25] The bosses take your money

[00:01:26] And they break your hearts

[00:01:28] And Uptown you cater

[00:01:29] To a million whores

[00:01:31] You disinfect terrazzo

[00:01:33] On their bathroom floors

[00:01:35] The jobs are really menial

[00:01:36] You make no bread

[00:01:38] And then at five-o'clock you head

[00:01:40] "By subway "

[00:01:42] Downtown

[00:01:43] Where the guys are drips

[00:01:45] Downtown

[00:01:46] Where they rip your slips

[00:01:48] Downtown

[00:01:50] Where relationships are no go

[00:01:54] Down on Skid Row

[00:02:09] Poor all my life I've

[00:02:11] Always been poor

[00:02:14] I keep askin' God what I'm for

[00:02:17] And he tells me "Gee I'm not sure "

[00:02:21] "Sweep that floor kid "

[00:02:23] Oh I started life as an orphan

[00:02:27] A child of the street here on Skid

[00:02:30] Row He took me in gave me shelter

[00:02:34] A bed crust of bread and a job

[00:02:36] Treats me like dirt and

[00:02:38] Calls me a slob

[00:02:40] Which I am

[00:02:43] So I live

[00:02:46] Downtown

[00:02:47] That's your home address you live

[00:02:50] Downtown

[00:02:52] When your life's a mess you live

[00:02:55] Downtown

[00:02:57] Where depression's just status quo

[00:03:02] Down on Skid Row

[00:03:05] Someone show me a way to

[00:03:07] Get outta here

[00:03:09] 'Cause I constantly pray

[00:03:11] I'll get outta here

[00:03:14] Please won't somebody say

[00:03:16] I'll get outta here

[00:03:18] Someone gimmie my shot

[00:03:21] Or I'll rot here

[00:03:22] Downtown

[00:03:23] Show me how and I will

[00:03:25] I'll get outta here Downtown

[00:03:27] I'll start climbin' up hill

[00:03:29] And get outta here

[00:03:31] 'Cause it's dangerous

[00:03:32] Downtown

[00:03:32] Someone tell me I still

[00:03:34] Could get outta here

[00:03:35] Someone tell lady luck

[00:03:37] That I'm stuck here

[00:03:39] Gee it sure would be swell to

[00:03:42] Get outta here

[00:03:43] Bid the gutter farewell and get

[00:03:44] Outta here

[00:03:46] I'd move heaven and hell to get

[00:03:48] Outta Skid

[00:03:49] I'd do I don't know what to get

[00:03:51] Outta Skid

[00:03:53] But a hell of a lot to get outta Skid

[00:03:56] People tell me there's not

[00:03:57] A way outta Skid

[00:04:00] But believe me I gotta get outta Skid

[00:04:03] Row
