And Mama -- don't you let them stray;
They won't find peace of mind in such a lonely place.
Wannabes and losers all try to get a break . . .
They don't give a damn, they'll do whatever it takes.
Mama -- things have changed since you were young;
When they scream in the dead of night now no one ever comes.
And the poor man, he's cast as the beggar and the thief;
You see him down on the street begging for enough to eat.
Waiting on the corner I saw her waiting for the man;
When the limo pulled up I saw what was changing hands.
I should'a tried to warn her and make her understand there is
Low life in high places. There is
(proceed right into:)
Waiting on the corner I saw her waiting for the man;
When the limo pulled up I saw what was changing hands.
I should'a tried to warn her and make her understand . . .
Enjoy!
