On the side walk I walk home tonight
on the side walk I walk every day.
I see faces scarred with a crooked b***
forty dollars will get you f***** all night.
So close to home I could take my pick
friends on every corner.
Silhouettes in the doorways
sold to this city.
Down, down, downtown is barely breathing.
Down, down, downtown is alive and barely holding on
is a lie, alone crawling up my front steps to my front door.
Beaten down, written off, case closed,
turn around and get your d*** sucked.
You say take out the garbage,
I say who's more f*****.
Who sees what I see.
Who's listening.
Down, down, downtown is alive and barely holding on
is a lie, alone crawling up my front steps to my front door.
Forced out, to sodomize a quiet night
They all, they all go out without a fight.
Will we, will we ever make this right.
