paroles de chanson The Get Out of the Ghetto Blues - Gil Scott-Heron

What we want to discuss here
Are routes out of the ghetto
This is called:
"The Get Out of the Ghetto blues"
I know you think you're cool
Lord, if they bus your kids to school
I know you think you're cool
Just 'cause they bus your kids to school
But you ain't got a thing to lose
You just got the get out of the ghetto blues
I know you think you're cool
If you're gettin' two welfare checks
You done told me you think you're cool
Because you're gettin' two welfare checks
Yeah, but you got ten years to lose if they catch you
Just tryin' to fight that get out of the ghetto blues
What it is, what it is
I know
If he don't catch you in the wash
Lord knows, he'll catch you in the rinse
I know, I know you think you're cool
Just 'cause you shooting that stuff in your arm
I seen you nodding
'Cause you shoot that stuff in your arm
And it don't matter which pine box you choose
You got the get out of the ghetto blues
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
