Cleanup Your Act

Boy you are sitting on the fence again
Your body's wasted in anguish
Why don't you make your way home?
Boy you are crying for help again
Are you afraid you're gonna perish
Beneath the razor wheels of trains?

You've got to find a better place
Where the hostile sun
Won't beat you down
If you could just clean up your act
And move to a better part of town

You are in the news headlines again
And your tired eyes reveal
You aren't coping with the pain
Who knows how long this will remain
The weight that slowly steals
Your strength while you refrain.

You've got to find a better place
Where the hostile sun
Won't beat you down
If you could just clean up your act
And move to a better part of town

You've slipped through the cracks again
We saw you passing by
On a trip down memory lane
Boy, you've lost your way again
Just pull over to the side
And get yourself out of the rain

We want you back home again
Where the hostile sun
Won't beat you down
If you could just clean up your act
And move to a better part of town
We'd be there waiting.
