The Landlord Regime

The Landlord Regime They’re sick of the homeless they say the city’s gone to pot But let’s look at the statistics and let’s see want we have got We’ve got landlords and slumlords charging an arm and a leg And then they wonder why people all over are forced to beg They want to see references with a down payment for heat Where does one get that when they're coming off the street You need to have a credit check if you want to live here We'll throw in a police record check just to make it clear We only want the tenants who are well off and employed And the undesirable jobless folk we’ll just strive to avoid So how is a person who's on a fixed income meant to deal When expectations from landlords are clearly so unreal
