Dri Slumlord Lyrics

Slumlord Lyrics


Old battered building
Ready to condemn
High valued
property
Expensive piece of land

Half filled with tenants
All poor
on welfare
No heat or electricity
And slumlord doesn't
care

Slumlord doesn't care  (X2)

Millions in insurance
Covers
the wrecked lot
And a week 'til it's condemned
Is all slumlord's
got

He enters the basement
With three gallons of gas
And four
hours later
There's nothing left but ash

Slumlord doesn't care 
(X2)

The newspapers all read
Forty die in blaze
Slumlord now
thinks
That crime really pays

And two years later
A skyscraper
appears
With a plaque in the memory
Of the forty that died
here

Slumlord doesn't care  (X2)
