Eric Burdon
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
White houses in neat little rows
2
Contrasting against the sky
3
Tumbled down black shacks over the tracks
4
Children so hungry they could cry
5
The chrome, the steel, the metal dream
6
Leaving the teepee to rot
7
The escapist young mind, left behind
8
Saving dimes for community pot
9
You better get straight
10
Better, better get straight
11
I feel you better get straight right now
12
Better get straight, babe
13
They're crying out for love all the time
14
But they fail to see the neighbors eyes
15
The TV is on, 6 o clock news
16
And channels in full colored lies
17
The company meets, the president speaks
18
He's young but his bones creak
19
Young girl dresses for the high school dance
20
And the guy next door is dying for a beat
21
Get straight, you better
22
Yes, you better get straight, babe
23
Did you hear what I said?
24
I said to you, that you, you better get straight
25
They put a bible in a drawer of the motel room
26
And it's crying out to be read
27
But it stays right there, collecting dust
28
No one understands what's being said
29
Lovers make love in country boxes
30
What will tomorrow bring?
31
They've been told that it's wrong
32
But they don't give a damn
33
Soon another life it will bring
34
You better get straight, babe
35
Yeah, you better get straight, baby
