| Lyrics: | White houses in neat little rows,
Contrasting against the sky.
Tumble down black shacks
over the tracks,
Children so hungry they could cry.
The chrome the steel, the metal
dream,
Leaving the teeth which will rot.
The escapist young mind left behind,
/>
Saving dimes for community pot.
Better get straight
You better, you better get
straight, babe
I feel...you better get straight right now
You better get it
You
better, you better get straight baby
They're crying out for love all the time,
/>
But they fail to see the neighbors eyes.
The TV is on the six o'clock news,
And the
channels are full color lies.
Company meets, the president speaks,
He's young but his
bones creak.
Young girl dresses for the high school dance
And the guy next door is
dying for a peek.
Get straight, you better...
Yeah...you better get straight,
baby
Oh, did you get what I say?
I say it to you
That you , you better,
/>
You better get it, babe
You better, you better get straight, yeah
Before it's too
late...
They put the Bible in the drawer of the motel room,
And its crying out to
be read.
But is stays right there collecting dust,
No one understands whats being
said.
Lovers make love in concrete boxes,
What will tomorrow bring?
They've been
told that its wrong but they don't give a damn,
Soon another life it will bring
/>
You better get straight baby
Yeah, You...
You better get straight baby
Oh
and I think I'd better get myself together too, babe
You know what I mean?
I've been
angry so very long
I want to fly right here
I want to do it all right
I want to
get it get it baby
You better get it, you better get it -aca |
