Skid Row (downtown) Lyrics - Singles - Company

Alarm goes off at seven 

And you start uptown. 

You put in your eight hours 

For the powers that have always been. 

(Sing it, child) 

'Till it's five P.M. 

Then you go 

Downtown 

Where the folks are broke. 

You go downtown 

Where your life's a joke. 

You go downtown 

When you buy your token, 

you go 

Home to Skid Row 

(Home to Skid Row)

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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.

11 Delicious Misheard Lyrics About Food 

Uptown you cater to a million whores. 

You disinfect terrazzo on their 

bathroom floors. 

Your morning's tribulation, 

afternoon's a curse 

And five o'clock is even worse. 

That's when you go 

(Downtown) 

Where the guys are drips. 

(Downtown) 

Where they rip your slips. 

(Downtown) 

Where relationships are no go. 

Down on Skid Row! 

(Down on Skid Row) 

Poor! All my life I've always been poor. 

I keep asking 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, calls me a slob, 

Which I am... 

So I live 

(Downtown) 

That's your home address. 

Ya live 

(Downtown) 

When your life's a mess. 

Ya live 

(Downtown) 

Where depression's just 

Satus 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 gimme my shot or I'll rot here! 

Show me how, and I will, I will get outta here. 

I'll start climbing up hill and get outta here. 

Someone tell me I can still get outta here. 

Someone tell Lady Luck that I'm stuck here! 

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 dunno 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!
