Song lyrics:

ALARM GOES OFF AT SEVEN
AND YOU START UPTOWN

YOU PUT IN YOUR EIGHT HOURS
FOR THE POWERS
THAT HAVE ALWAYS BEEN
'TIL IT'S FIVE P.M....

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

DOWNTOWN
WHERE THE CABS DON'T STOP
DOWNTOWN
WHERE THE FOOD IS SLOP

DOWNTOWN
WHERE THE HOPHEADS FLOP
IN THE SNOW
DOWN ON SKID ROW

UPTOWN, YOU CATER
TO A MILLION JERKS
UPTOWN, YOU'RE MESSENGERS
AND MAILROOM CLERKS

EATIN' 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

DOWNTOWN
WHERE THE GUYS ARE DRIPS
WHERE THEY RIP YOUR SLIPS
WHERE RELATIONSHIPS
ARE NO GO

DOWN ON SKID ROW
DOWN ON SKID ROW
DOWN ON SKID ROW
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
THAT'S YOUR HOME ADDRESS
YOU LIVE
WHEN YOUR LIFE'S A MESS

YOU LIVE
WHERE DEPRESSION'S
JUST STATUS QUO

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'LL GET OUTTA HERE
I'LL START CLIMBIN' UP HILL
AND GET OUTTA HERE

SOMEONE TELL ME
I STILL COULD 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 DON'T KNOW WHAT
TO GET OUTTA SKID
BUT A HELL OF A LOT
TO GET OUTTA SKID
