[00:01.01]White Houses - Eric Burdon
[00:10.48]White houses in neat little rows
[00:13.07]Contrasting against the sky
[00:14.68]
[00:15.87]Tumbled down black shacks over the tracks
[00:18.68]Children so hungry they could cry
[00:21.04]
[00:21.79]The chrome, the steel, the metal dream
[00:24.59]Leaving the teepee to rot
[00:26.59]
[00:27.40]The escapist young mind, left behind
[00:30.45]Saving dimes for community pot
[00:32.36]
[00:32.99]Better You get straight

[00:57.23]They're crying out for love
[00:58.88]All the time
[01:00.31]But they to fail see the neighbors eyes
[01:02.40]
[01:03.53]The TV is on, 6 o'clock news
[01:06.32]And channels in full colored lies
[01:08.20]
[01:09.38]The company meets, the president speaks
[01:12.25]He's young his but bones creak
[01:14.17]
[01:15.04]Young girl dresses for the highschool dance
[01:17.91]And the guy next door is dying for a beat

[02:33.32]Of the motel room
[02:35.06]And it's crying out to be read
[02:36.93]
[02:37.87]But it stays right there, collecting dust
[02:40.93]No one understands what's being said
[02:42.87]
[02:44.11]Lovers make love in country boxes
[02:46.69]
