Old battered building
Ready to condemn
High valued property

Expensive piece of land

Half fill with tenants

All poor on welfare
No heat or electricity
And slumlord doesn't care


Slumlord doesn't care [x2]


Millions in insurance
Covers the wrecked lot
And a week till it's condemned

Is all slumlord's got

He enters the ba!@&(t

With three gallons of gas
And four hours later
There's nothing but ash


Slumlord doesn't care [x2]


The newspaper's all read
Forty die in the blaze
Slumlord now thinks

That crime really pays

And two years later

A skyscraper appears
With a plaque in the memory
Of the forty that died here


Slumlord doesn't care [x2]
