Slumlord |
Old, battered building, ready to condemn |
High-Valued property, expensive piece of land |
Half-Filled with tenants, all poor on welfare |
No heat or electricity, and slumlord doesn’t care |
Slumlord doesn’t care, slumlord doesn’t care |
Millions in insurance covers the wrecked lot |
And A week till it’s condemned is all slumlord’s got |
He enters the basement with three gallons of gas |
And four hours later, there’s nothing left but ash |
Slumlord doesn’t care, slumlord doesn’t care |
The newpaper’s all read, «FORTY DIE IN THE BLAZE» |
Slumlord now thinks that crime really pays |
And two years later, A skyscraper appears |
With A plaque in the memory of the forty that died here |
Slumlord doesn’t care, slumlord doesn’t care |
