Come slumming

if you fell--i wouldn't tell
though i'm bad off and you're so well
when you play there in the social air
it fills my lungs with deep despair
no white lies--no dirty tricks
you could break right out of your social clique

i'm not clever--i've no charm
i've no big words to do you harm
i've got feeling--i've got heart
what's inside sets me apart
slumming folk who i can be with
it's worth my life and that's what i'll give

come on down--come slumming with me
please come slumming and set me free
come on down--learn what we're about
please come slumming and get me out!

pull me up from the bottomless pit
bring me through the thick of it
here we stand at the mercy of the land
God give us strength out of your hand
i've looked for you but you're not there
who made the rules? Life's not Fair!

come on down--come slumming with me
please come slumming i will set you free
come on down learn what life's about
please come slumming and get me out!
