Remove AdsA G D E x 2
A G D EWhite houses in neat little rows contrasting against the sky
A GTumbled down black shacks over the tracks
D Echildren so hungry they could cry
A G D EThe chrome the steel the metal dream leaving the teepee to rot
A GThe escapist young mind left behind
D Esaving dimes for community pot
A G DYou better get straight
E A GBetter, better get straight
D E A GI mean you better get straight right now
D E A G D EBetter get it, you better, better get straight babe
A GThey're crying out for love all
D Ethe time but they fail to see their
neighbours eyes
A G D EThe TV is on 6 o'clock news the channel's in full colored lies
A GThe company meets, the President
D Espeaks he's young but his bones creak
A GYoung girl dresses for the high school
D Edance and the guy next door is dyin'
for a peek
A GGet straight
D E A GYou better, yeah, you better get straight babe
D E A GOh did you get what I said, I said to you
D E AThat you, you better, you better get angry
G D EYou better, you better get straight
SOLO (32 bars)
AThey put a bible in the drawer of the
G D Emotel room and it's crying out to be read
A GBut it stays right there collecting dust,
D Eno one understands what's being said
A G D ELovers make love in comfy boxes, what will tomorrow bring
AThey've been told that it's wrong but they
G D Edon't give a damn, soon another life it will bring
A GYou better get straight baby
D E A GYeah you, you better get straight baby
D E A GOh and I think I better get myself to get it babe

D EI wanna fly right, I wanna Do it alright
