| Mama, tell your children not to go | |
| Down to the city where the desperate people go | |
| And mama, don't you let them stray | |
| They won't find piece 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 the poor man, he's cast as the villain and the 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 you let 'em go, you've got to have some pity | |
| Don't you let 'em go | |
| You've got to keep 'em 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 | |
| And mama, don't you let them stray | |
| They won't find piece of mind in such a lonely place |
