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 potBetter 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 babyThey'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 peekGet straight, you better Yeah you better get straight, baby Oh, did you get what I say?
