Ghetto Hotel

Norton Buffalo


Ghetto hotel, 
Two dollars a day 
How can you afford two dollars if you haven't got no pay 
Ghetto hotel, 
Watch the old men die 
Drinking their white port makes a man want about to cry 

Where were these men in their younger days 
Did they have goals like you and me 
It seems that they got lost, somewhere along the way 
And now they'll lose their minds and fall into decay 

Ghetto hotel, 
Two dollars a day 
How can you afford two dollars if you haven't got no pay 
Ghetto hotel, 
Women hangin' round 
Sellin' their bodies, I say it sure does bring me down 

Where were these girls in their younger days 
I bet they was fine as they could be 
But somehow they fell into this dirty, dirty jungle 
And now they're crawlin' on their knees 

Ghetto hotel, 
Two dollars a day 
How can you afford two dollars if you haven't got no pay 
Ghetto hotel, 
Little baby cryin' 
Mama lyin' on the floor with a needle in her arm 

We've got to look into the future 
The child can't make it on his own 
We've got to make his world a place that is worth livin' 
Maybe things will be better when he's grown 

We've got to look into the future 
The child can't make it on his own 
We've got to make his world a place that is worth livin' 
Maybe things will be better when he's grown
