The Other Side of Town |
| I’m from the other side of town |
| Out of bounds |
| To anybody who don’t live around |
| I never learned to share |
| Or how to care |
| I never had no teachings |
| About being fair |
| Depression is part of my mind |
| The sun never shines |
| On the other side of town |
| The need here is always for more |
| There’s nothing good in store |
| On the other side of town |
| It’s hard to do right |
| In this filthy night |
| Just plain simple comfort |
| Is completely out of sight |
| My little sister she hungry |
| For bread to eat |
| My brother’s hand me down shoes |
| Are now showing his feet |
| Ghetto blues showed on the news |
| All is aware |
| But what the hell do they care |
| You across the track |
| Completely relaxed |
| You take a warning fact |
| Don’t you never come back |
| I’m from the other side of town |
| Out of bounds |
| To anybody who don’t live around |
| I never learned to share |
| Or how to care |
| I never had no teachings |
| About being fair |
| Depression is part of my mind |
| The sun never shines |
| On the other side of town |
| The need here is always for more |
| There’s nothing good in store |
| On the other side of town |
| O baby it’s hard to do right |
| On the other side of town |
