The Other Side of Town

Lyrics

I'm from the other side of town
 Out of bounds
 To anybody who don't live around
 I never learned to share
 Or how to care
 I never had no teachings
 About being fair
 Depression is part of my mind
 The sun never shines
 On the other side of town
 The need here is always for more
 There's nothing good in store
 On the other side of town
 It's hard to do right
 In this filthy night
 Just plain simple comfort
 Is completely out of sight
 My little sister she hungry
 For bread to eat
 My brother's hand me down shoes
 Are now showing his feet
 Ghetto blues showed on the news
 All is aware
 But what the hell do they care
 You across the track
 Completely relaxed
 You take a warning fact
 Don't you never come back
 ♪
 I'm from the other side of town
 Out of bounds
 To anybody who don't live around
 I never learned to share
 Or how to care
 I never had no teachings
 About being fair
 Depression is part of my mind
 The sun never shines
 On the other side of town
 The need here is always for more
 There's nothing good in store
 On the other side of town
 Oh baby it's hard to do right
 On the other side of town
