Ghetto Hotel - Norton Buffalo

Ghetto hotel

Two dollars a day

How can you afford two dollars if you haven’t got no pay

Watch the old men die

Drinking their white port makes a man want about to cry

Where were these men in their younger days

Did they have goals like you and me

It seems that they got lost, somewhere along the way

And now they’ll lose their minds and fall into decay

Women hangin' round

Sellin' their bodies, I say it sure does bring me down

Where were these girls in their younger days

I bet they was fine as they could be

But somehow they fell into this dirty, dirty jungle

And now they’re crawlin' on their knees

Little baby cryin'

Mama lyin' on the floor with a needle in her arm

We’ve got to look into the future

The child can’t make it on his own

We’ve got to make his world a place that is worth livin'

Maybe things will be better when he’s grown
