BUM 2 Yes, you go COMPANY Downtown Where the cabs don't stop Letras de cancionesDowntown Where the food is slop Downtown Where the hop-heads flop in the snow Down on Skid Row 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.
