Generate meaning
1
Downtown L.A is a depressing place
2
You can see young men with deep lines in their face
3
They could all be something if somebody cared
4
But nobody knows they're even down there
5
Old woman walking with a sack on her back
6
Picking up the garbage people put out back
7
Men down there trying to walk the line
8
Trading their soul for a bottle of wine
9
In the inner city it ain't no good
10
It's a long, long way from Hollywood
11
Bad kind of people got a hold of the street
12
They got something that the poor people need
13
At two in the morning they bust your head
14
Fat chance walking you'll end up dead
15
It's the law of the jungle with a gun and a knife
16
If you stay long enough you lose your life
17
Man down there he couldn't be lying
18
He was sleeping in the street and he couldn't keep from crying
19
Said he'd been there for twenty one years
20
Through the bars and the brawls and the blues and the tears
21
Prop up the front the back falls down
22
All around the canyons of l.a. town
23
When he asked me for a dollar I looked him in his face
24
Downtown l.a. is a depressing place
