Uptown Squalor - Sapient

I see them in their shiny cars

Looking so pretty with diamonds on

I see them in their shiny cars

Looking so pretty with diamonds on

I see them in their shiny cars

Looking so pretty with diamonds on

I see them in their shiny cars

Looking so pretty with diamonds on

Well uptown in my city

Is where the sludge drips from

It makes my dog and cat skinny

And runs downhill into our slums

We all try to rinse it

But instead we walk around in boots and gloves

Up the slope is where the rich live

In their mansions made of happiness and love

One day one of the uptown girls came looking for a downtown guy

You know how those uptown girls can be

Using money and looks to get by

I went with a uptown girl that was looking for this downtown guy

You know how those uptown girls can be

If you say no then you lie

Now I’m uptown in my city

Where the sludge gets made

It keeps my wife and kid skinny

We pour the leftovers into the drain

I see them in their shiny cars

Looking so pretty with diamonds on

I see them in their shiny cars

Looking so pretty with diamonds on

I see them in their shiny cars

Looking so pretty with diamonds on

I see them in their shiny cars

Looking so pretty with diamonds on
