Contrasting against the sky.
Leaving the teeth which will rot.
The escapist young mind left behind,
Saving dimes for community pot.
You better, you better get straight,
You better, you better get
They're crying out for love all the time,
But they fail to see the neighbors eyes.
The TV is on the six o'clock news,
And the channels are full color lies.
Company meets, the president speaks,
He's young but his bones creak.
And the guy next door is dy ing for a peek.
They put the Bible in the drawer
And its crying out to be read.
But is stays right there collecting dust,
Lovers make love in concrete boxes,
What will tomorrow bring?
They've been told that its wrong
but they don't give a damn,
Soon another life it will bring
You better get straight baby
You better get straight baby
Oh and I think I'd better get
myself together too, babe
I've been angry so very long
I want to do it all right
I want to get it get it baby
You better get it, you better get it
You better get straight right now
