White Houses Lyrics - The Animals

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 pot 

Better 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 baby

They'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 peek 

Get straight, you better 

Yeah you better get straight, baby 

Oh, did you get what I say? 

I say it to you 

That you, you better 

You better get it, babe 

You better, you better get straight, yeah 

Before it's too late 

Photos 

They put the Bible in the drawer of the motel room 

And its crying out to be read 

But is stays right there collecting dust 

No one understands whats being said 

Lovers make love in concrete boxes 

What will tomorrow bring? 

They've been told that its wrong but they don't give a damn 

Soon another life it will bring 

You better get straight baby 

Yeah, You 

You better get straight baby 

Oh and I think I'd better get myself together too, babe 

You know what I mean? 

I've been angry so very long 

I want to fly right here 

I want to do it all right 

I want to get it get it baby 

You better get it, you better get it 

You better get straight right now 

Because I've been told 

And I'm telling you baby 

Pass it on 

Its really good advice
