Low Life In High Places (Live at Don Valley Stadium, Sheffield 6th June 1993) - Thunder

Mama tell your children not to go

Down to the city where the desperate people go

And mama don't let them stray

They won't find peace of mind

In such a lonely place

Wannabes and losers

All trying to get a break

They don't give a damn

They'll do whatever it takes

If they climb the ladder

They get to play for higher stakes

That's why there's low life in high places

Mama things have changed since you were young

When you scream in the dead of night

Now no one ever comes

And a poor man

He's cast as the villan and a thief

See him down on the street

Begging for enough to eat

Waiting on the corner

I saw her waiting for the man

When the limo pulled up

I saw what was changing hands

I should've tried to warn her

And make her understand

There is low life in high places

There is low life like you never even knew

There is low life and it lives in me and you

But we don't all let it through

Don't let them go

You've got to have some pity

Don't you let them go

You've got to keep them away

From the big bad city

Waiting on the corner

I saw her waiting for the man

When the limo pulled up

I saw what was changing hands

I should've tried to warn her

And make her understand

Mama tell your children not to go

Down to the city

Where the desperate people go

Mama don't you let them stray

They won't find

Peace of mind in such a lonely place
