Low Life in High Places

歌詞

Mama, tell your children not to go Down to the city, where the desperate people go And mama, don't let them stray They won't find, peace of mind, in such a lonely place Wannabes and losers, all trying to get a break They don't give a damn, they'll do whatever it takes If they climb the ladder, they get to play for higher stakes That's why there's low life in high places Mama, things have changed since you were young When you scream, in the dead of night Now no one ever comes And a poor man, he's cast as the villan and a thief See him down on the street, begging for enough to eat Waiting on the corner, I saw her waiting for the man When the limo pulled up I saw what was changing hands I should've tried to warn her, and make her understand There is low life in high places There is low life, like you never even knew There is low life, and it lives in me and you But we don't all let it through Don't let 'em go, you've got to have some pity Don't you let 'em go You've got to keep 'em away, from the big bad city (SOLO) Waiting on the corner, I saw her waiting for the man When the limo pulled up I saw what was changing hands I should've tried to warn her, and make her understand Mama, tell your children not to go Down to the city, where the desperate people go And mama, don't you let them stray They won't find, peace of mind in such a lonely place
