Slum People

It all began in a back to back street

Dogs and people getting under my feet

The architect said "This is your lucky day"

I'll build you Jerusalem if you move away

I go to town on a fast fast train now

Just like a cripple on the astral flame now

I don't take a chance, you've got me embalmed

In a cardboard box ten miles from the city land

Down in the danger zone

Slum people got to get away

Now that you're on your own

Slum people what you gotta say

Slum people

I walk the city in the dead of the night now

The streets are empty and the cops are in fright now

Standing at the corner, hate in my eye

A rock stuck solid for a car passing by

Well down the alley way long past midnight

A man came up to me and spoke by my side

He said, "Tell me, son, what religion you are?"

I couldn't be sure if I was Billy or Dan

Down in the danger zone

Slum people got to get away

Now that you're on your own

Slum people what you gotta say

Slum people

Down in the danger zone

Slum people got to get away

Now that you're on your own

Slum people what you gotta say

Slum people

Slum people

Slum people

Slum people

Slum people

Slum people...
