《White Houses》歌词

[00:00:01] White Houses - Eric Burdon

[00:00:10] White houses in neat little rows

[00:00:13] Contrasting against the sky

[00:00:15] Tumbled down black shacks over the tracks

[00:00:18] Children so hungry they could cry

[00:00:21] The chrome, the steel, the metal dream

[00:00:24] Leaving the teepee to rot

[00:00:27] The escapist young mind, left behind

[00:00:30] Saving dimes for community pot

[00:00:32] Better You get straight

[00:00:37] Better, better get straight

[00:00:42] I feel you better get straight right now

[00:00:48] Better get better better get straight babe

[00:00:57] They're crying out for love

[00:00:58] All the time

[00:01:00] But they to fail see the neighbors eyes

[00:01:03] The TV is on, 6 o'clock news

[00:01:06] And channels in full colored lies

[00:01:09] The company meets, the president speaks

[00:01:12] He's young his but bones creak

[00:01:15] Young girl dresses for the highschool dance

[00:01:17] And the guy next door is dying for a beat

[00:01:21] Get straight

[00:01:24] You better, yes you better get straight babe

[00:01:31] Did you hear what I said?

[00:01:32] I said to you, that you, you better better get straight

[00:01:40] Better better get straight

[00:02:31] Put They a bible in a drawer

[00:02:33] Of the motel room

[00:02:35] And it's crying out to be read

[00:02:37] But it stays right there, collecting dust

[00:02:40] No one understands what's being said

[00:02:44] Lovers make love in country boxes

[00:02:47] What will tomorrow bring?

[00:02:49] They've been told that it's wrong

[00:02:50] They But don't give a damn

[00:02:52] Soon another life it will bring

[00:02:55] You better get straight babe

[00:02:58] Yeah, you you better get straight baby
