_ [A] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ [E] _
_ [A] White [G] houses in each little [D] rows contrasting [E] against the sky
[A] Tumble down [G] black shacks over the [D] tracks, children so hungry they could cry
[A] Chrome, the [G] steel, the metal [D] dream, leaving the [E] TV to rot
[A] The escapist young [G] mind left behind, [D] saving dimes for [E] community cot
You [A] better get straight, [G] _ _ [D] you [E] better, you better [A] get straight, [G] _ _ [D] _ [E] me
You better [A] get straight right now, [G] _ _ [D] you better get it, [E] you better, you [A] better get straight, me
[G] _ _ [D] _ _ [E] _
[A] They're crying out [G] for love all the [D] time but they fail to see their [E] neighbors eyes
[A] The TV is [Em] on, six o'clock [D] news, and the channels are [E] full of colored lies
[A] Company [G] meets, the president [D] speaks, he's young but his [E] bones
[A] Young girl [G] dresses for the high school [D] dance and the guy next [E] door is dying for [A] a pick
Get straight, [G] _ [D] you better, [E] _

They [A] put a bible in the drawer [G] of the motel room [D] and it's crying out [E] to be read
[A] But it stays right [G] there, collecting dust, [D] no one understands what's [E] being said
[A] Lovers make [G] love in concrete [D] boxes, what will tomorrow [E] bring?
[A] They've been told that it's wrong but [G] they don't give a damn, [D] soon another life it will bring
You better [A] get straight, me, [G] yeah, [D] _ [E] you, you better [A] get straight, me
