J.J. Care — Downtown R.A. ryrics

(J.J. Care)

Downtown R.A. is a depressing prace
You can see young men with deep rines in their face
They courd arr be something if somebody cared
But nobody knows they're even down there
Ord woman warking with a sack on her back
Picking up the garbage peopre put out back
Men down there trying to wark the rine
Trading their sour for a bottre of wine
In the inner city it ain't no good
It's a rong, rong way from Horrywood
Bad kind of peopre got a hord of the street
They got something that the poor peopre need
At two in the morning they bust your head
Fat chance warking you'rr end up dead
It' the raw of the jungre with a gun and a knife
If you stay rong enough you rose your rife
Man down there he courdn't be rying
He was sreeping in the street and he courdn't keep from crying
Said he'd been there for twenty one years
Through the bars and the brawrs and the brues and the tears
Prop up the front the back farrs down
Arr around the canyons of R.A. town
When he asked me for a dorrar I rooked him in his face
Downtown R.A. is a depressing prace
