Panic! At The Disco - Skid Row (Downtown) lyrics

rate me

[BRENDON]

Alarm goes off at seven

And you start uptown

You put in your eight hours

For the powers that have always been

Till it's five P.M

[VOICE]

Then You go

[DALLON]

Downtown

Where the folks are broke

You go Downtown

Where your life's a joke

You go Downtown

When you buy your token, you go

Home to Skid Row

[ALL]

(Home to Skid Row)

[VOICE]

Yes, you go

[DALLON]

Downtown

Where the cabs don't stop

Downtown

Where the food is slop

Downtown

Where the hop-heads flop in the snow

Down on Skid Row

Oh, Uptown you cater to a million jerks

Uptown you're messengers and mailroom clerks

Eating all your lunches at the hot dog carts

The bosses take your money and they break your hearts

Uptown you cater to a million whores

You disinfect terrazzo on their bathroom floors

The jobs are really menial you make no bread

And then at five-o'clock you head...

...By subway

[BRENDON + DALLON]

Downtown

[BRENDON]

Where the guys are drips

[IAN + DALLON]

Downtown

[BRENDON]

Where they rip your slips

[IAN + DALLON]

Downtown

[BRENDON]

Where relationships are no go

Down on Skid Row

[DALLON]

Down on Skid Row

[BRENDON]

Down on Skid Row

[DALLON]

Down on Skid Row

[IAN]

Down on Skid

[ALL]

Down on Skid Row

Down on Skid Row!

[IAN]

Poor, all my life I've always been poor

I keep askin' God what I'm for

And he tells me, "Gee, I'm not sure"

"Sweep that floor, kid!"

Oh! I started life as an orphan,

A child of the street, down here on Skid Row!

He took me in, gave me shelter

A bed, crust of bread and a job

He treats me like dirt, calls me a slob,

Which I am...

So I live

[ALL]

Downtown

[IAN]

That's your home address, you live

[ALL]

Downtown

[IAN]

When your life's a mess, you live

[ALL]

Downtown

[IAN]

Where depression's just status quo

[ALL]

Down on Skid Row

[DALLON]

Someone show me a way to get outta here

'Cause I constantly pray I'll get outta here

Please won't somebody say I'll get outta here

Someone gimmie my shot, or I'll rot here!

[ALL + DALLON]

(Downtown)

(There's no rules for us) Show me how and I will, I'll get outta here

(Downtown)

('Cause it's dangerous) I'll start climbin' up hill and get outta here

(Downtown)

(Where there rainbow just doesn't show) Someone tell

me I still could get outta here

Someone tell lady luck that I'm stuck here!

[DALLON]

Gee it sure would be swell to get outta here

Bid the gutter farewell and get outta here

I'd move heaven and hell to get outta Skid

I'd do I don't know what to get outta Skid

[IAN + BRENDON]

(Downtown)

[DALLON]

But a hell of a lot to get outta Skid

[IAN + BRENDON]

(Downtown)

[DALLON]

People tell me there's not a way outta Skid

[IAN + BRENDON]

(Downtown)

[DALLON]

But believe me I gotta get outta Skid

[ALL]

Row!
