Panic! At The Disco - Skid Row (Downtown) lyrics

[Verse 1] Alarm goes off at seven And you start uptown You put in your eight hours For the powers that have always been Until it's five p.m [Chorus][x2] Then You go Downtown Where the folks are broke You go Downtown Where your life's a joke You go Downtown When you buy your token, you go Home to Skid Row (Home to Skid Row) [Verse 2] Oh, Uptown you cater to a million jerks Uptown you're messengers and mail room clerks Eating all your lunches at the hot dog carts The bosses take your money and they break your hearts Uptown you cater to a million who*es You disinfect terrazzo on their bathroom floors The jobs are really menial you make no bread And then at five-o'clock you head By subway [Chorus] [Verse 3] Poor, all my life I've always been poor I keep asking God what I'm for And he tells me, "Gee, I'm not sure" "Sweep that floor, kid!" Oh! I started life as an orphan A child of the street, down here on Skid Row He took me in, gave me shelter A bed, crust of bread and a job He treats me like dirt, calls me a slob Which I am So I live [Chorus] [Verse 4] Someone show me a way to get out of here Because I constantly pray I'll get out of here Please won't somebody say I'll get out of here Someone give me my shot, or I'll rot here (Downtown) (There's no rules for us) Show me how and I will, I'll get out of here (Downtown) (Because it's dangerous) I'll start climbing up hill and get out of here (Downtown) (Where there rainbow just doesn't show) Someone tell me I still could get out of here Someone tell lady luck that I'm stuck here! [Bridge] Gee it sure would be swell to get out of here Bid the gutter farewell and get out of here I'd move heaven and hell to get out of Skid I'd do I don't know what to get out of Skid [Outro] (Downtown) But a hell of a lot to get out of Skid (Downtown) People tell me there's not a way out of Skid (Downtown) But believe me I've got to get out of Skid Row
