White Houses
The Animals

White houses in neat little rows,

Contrasting against the sky.

Tumble down black shacks over the tracks,

Children so hungry they could cry.

The chrome the steel, the metal dream,

Leaving the teeth which will rot.

The escapist young mind left behind,

Saving dimes for community pot.


Better get straight

You better, you better get straight, babe

I feel... You better get straight right now

You better get it

You better, you better get straight baby


They're crying out for love all the time,

But they fail to see the neighbors eyes.

The tv is on the six o'clock news,

And the channels are full color lies.

Company meets, the president speaks,

He's young but his bones creak.

Young girl dresses for the high school dance

And the guy next door is dying for a peek.


Get straight, you better...

Yeah... You better get straight, baby

Oh, did you get what I say?

I say it to you

That you, you better,

You better get it, babe

You better, you better get straight, yeah

Before it's too late...


They put the Bible in the drawer of the motel room,

And it's crying out to be read.

But is stays right there collecting dust,

No one understands what's being said.

Lovers make love in concrete boxes,

What will tomorrow bring?

They've been told that it's wrong but they don't give a damn,

Soon another life it will bring


You better get straight baby

Yeah, You...

You better get straight baby

Oh and I think I'd better get myself together too, babe

You know what I mean?

I've been angry so very long

I want to fly right here

I want to do it all right

I want to get it get it baby

You better get it, you better get it

You better get straight right now

Because I've been told

And I'm telling you baby

Pass it on

Its really good advice...
