Hey! |
|
A boy is born in a bed of thorns |
|
He wears his halo hanging from his horns |
|
City streets out of luck, you lose |
|
To get what you need, you do what you have to do |
|
Now count your blessings, count your tears |
|
Some killing time, some killing years |
|
Talk big, laugh loud; you better back it up |
|
It's the bottom of the river in the bottom of your cup now |
|
Living life in this tenement town |
|
It'll tear you up |
|
It's gonna drag you down |
|
You've been there once |
|
You don't want to go back |
|
It's all been a lie |
|
The world don't work that way |
|
Hey, somebody's knocking |
|
Just taking what I need |
|
And that ain't no crime |
|
Hey, hey, somebody's knocking |
|
Somewhere down the line |
|
Once upon a time |
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah |
|
All right, listen |
|
Tenement town steeped in soul and sin |
|
The word gets round, they're gonna deal you in |
|
But the one-eyed jack, you don't play him wrong |
|
When the dirt goes down, you won't live long |
|
Ain't no life in this desperate town |
|
It'll beat you up |
|
It'll bring you down |
|
You've been there once |
|
Do you want to go back |
|
It's all been a lie |
|
The world don't work that way |
|
Hey, somebody's knocking |
|
Just taking what I need |
|
And that ain't no crime |
|
Hey, hey, somebody's knocking |
|
I've been down before |
|
You won't see me cry, no way! |
|
Hey somebody's knocking |
|
You can take what's yours |
|
What's mine is mine |
|
Hey, hey, sonebody's knocking |
|
Somewhere down the line |
|
Once upon a time |
|
You can't go home again |
|
(Once upon a time) |
|
You walk this world alone again |
|
Ain't no life in this tenement town |
|
It'll tear you up |
|
It's gonna drag you down |
|
You've been there once |
|
Do you want to go back |
|
It's all been a lie |
|
The world don't work that way |
|
Hey, somebody's knocking |
|
Just taking what I need |
|
And that ain't no crime |
|
Hey, hey, somebody's knocking |
|
Now I've been down before |
|
You won't see me cry, no way! |
|
Hey, somebody's knocking |
|
You can take what's yours |
|
What's mine is mine |
|
Hey, hey, somebody's knocking |
|
Somewhere down the line |
|
Once upon a time |
|
Once upon a time |
|
Yeah, once upon a time |
|
Once upon a time |
