WALKING DOWN A CITY STREET PEOPLE THEY’RE JUST PASSIN’ BY
SOMETHING TO THAT UPTOWN BEAT, BUT STILL I HEAR THE POOR FOLKS CRYING
AIN’T NO POOR WITHOUT THE RICH BABE, THAT’S THE ONE THING I KNOW FOR SURE
WELL, THINK IT’S TIME FOR A POSITION SWITCH, PUT THE FAT CATS ON THE FLOOR
LORD, SOMETIMES I JUST DON’T KNOW WHAT’S GOIN’ ON
WELL, IT MAKES A TIGHT MAN WANT TO GET UP AND RUN
THEY’VE GOT US UNDER THEIR GUN BABY
WELL, I’M WATCHING AS THE BUILDINGS GROW, LORD IT DON’T SEEM RIGHT TO ME
RUNNIN FROM THE RATS ON YOUR MOTHER’S FLOOR SAID WHERE CAN ALL THAT FREEDOM BE
TIME FOR US TO GET UP AND REARRANGE, TIME FOR US TO HAVE SOME FUN
LORD, LORD SOMETIMES I JUST DON’T KNOW WHAT’S GOIN’ ON
WELL, IT MAKES A TIGHT MAN WANT TO GET UP AND RUN
THEY’VE GOT US UNDER THEIR GUN BABY
