歌詞

Clerks at the hotels don't take a chance Rooms for three dollars pay in advance Sleep on a mattress, you might get a sheet But you'd be surprised at the people you meet Telling their tales of trouble and woe 'Bout how they got down here to skid row Minnie the moocher begging for dimes Her life has fallen on difficult times She was a teacher, got strung out on crack Went out so far 'til she never got back When she started teaching, she didn't know 'Bout the school of hard knocks down on skid row Willie the wino, now ain't it a shame Sleeping in doorways, he don't know his name Was a surgical doctor, the top of his class 'Til he started finding his nerve in a glass A little nip now and then began to grow and grow He's a missing physician on skid row Skid row, anywhere USA You can find them there Lost sheep who have gone astray We gotta lift them up in prayer Oh... Ooh... Larry and Lisa, three kids and all Nowhere to go and no one to call Larry was working, he was laid off Lived in a house that wasn't paid off Went into foreclosure and they had to go Now they live on the streets down on skid row Well, well, skid row, anywhere USA You can find them there The numbers growing higher everyday We gotta show them somebody cares Well, skid row, anywhere USA You can find them there Lost sheep who have gone astray We gotta lift them up in prayer...
