high rent ghetto - jimmy webb lyrics

in the high rent ghetto
there’s a man with a mercedes benz
and if he’s got the get*go
he just might stay up with his friends
in the turbo
with the cocaine
and gold plastic cards
and from studio to studio
in cadillac’s he’s getting the bends
from climbing too fast
you know, somebody better decompress that boy again
in the ghetto by the swimming pool
somebody better get him a tour
this whole d*mn thing will be closin’ down
don’t they know he’s the nouveau poor

there’s a hot demand for condos
down in the new marina
he’s just gotta get one of those
bodies by pinan farina
in the dino
with the cocaine
hand him a yard
and from concert to disco
to the office the tunnel extends
that last little fiasco
you know, it almost brought the homestead down
in the clauses stipulated
the long distance runner is trained to endure
but it’s hard to win the whole d*mn race
when the short of breath are the nouveau poor
