Skid Row (Downtown) - Ellen Green/Michelle Weeks
Alarm goes off at seven
And you start up-town
You put in your eight hours
For the powers
That have always been
Sing it child
'Til it's five-pm
"Then you go "
Downtown
Where the folks are broke You go
Downtown
Where your life's a joke You go
Downtown
Where you buy a token You go
Home to Skid Row
"Yes you go "
Downtown
Where the cabs don't stop
Downtown
Where the food is slop
Downtown
Where the hop-heads flop in the snow
Down on Skid Row
Uptown you cater to a million jerks
Uptown you're messengers
And mailroom clerks
Eating all your lunches
At the hot-dog carts
The bosses take your money
And they break your hearts
And Uptown you cater
To a million whores
You disinfect terrazzo
On their bathroom floors
The jobs are really menial
You make no bread
And then at five-o'clock you head
"By subway "
Downtown
Where the guys are drips
Downtown
Where they rip your slips
Downtown
Where relationships are no go
Down on Skid Row
Poor all my life I've always been poor
I keep askin' God what I'm for
And he tells me "Gee I'm not sure "
"Sweep that floor kid "
Oh I started life as an orphan
A child of the street here on Skid
Row He took me in gave me shelter
A bed crust of bread and a job
Treats me like dirt and calls me a slob
Which I am
So I live
Downtown
That's your home address you live
Downtown
When your life's a mess you live
Downtown
Where depression's just status quo
Down on Skid Row
Someone show me a way to get outta here
'Cause I constantly pray
I'll get outta here
Please won't somebody say
I'll get outta here
Someone gimmie my shot
Or I'll rot here
Downtown
Show me how and I will
I'll get outta here Downtown
I'll start climbin' up hill
And get outta here
'Cause it's dangerous
Downtown
Someone tell me I still
Could get outta here
Where there rainbow just doesn't show
Someone tell lady luck
That I'm stuck here
When you get
Downtown
Gee it sure would be swell to get outta here
Bid the gutter farewell and get outta here
I'd move heaven and hell to get outta Skid
I'd do I don't know what to get outta Skid
But a hell of a lot to get outta Skid
People tell me there's not a way outta Skid
But believe me I gotta get outta Skid
Row
