White Houses |
White houses in neat little rows |
Contrasting against the sky |
Tumbled down black shacks over the tracks |
Children so hungry they could cry |
The chrome, the steel, the metal dream |
Leaving the teepee to rot |
The escapist young mind, left behind |
Saving dimes for community pot |
You better get straight |
Better, better get straight |
I feel you better get straight right now |
Better get straight babe |
They’re crying out for love |
All the time |
But they fail to see the neighbors eyes |
The TV is on, 6 o clock news |
And channels in full colored lies |
The company meets, the president speaks |
He’s young but his bones creak |
Young girl dresses for the highschool dance |
And the guy next door is dying for a beat |
Get straight |
You better, yes you better get straight babe |
Did you hear what I said? |
I said to you, that you, you better get straight |
They put a bible in a drawer |
Of the motel room |
And it’s crying out to be read |
But it stays right there, collecting dust |
No one understands what’s being said |
Lovers make love in country boxes |
What will tomorrow bring? |
They’ve been told that it’s wrong |
But they don’t give a damn |
Soon another life it will bring |
You better get straight babe |
Yeah, you better get straight baby |
