Lyrics

[00:14.162] “BOYS”IN THE CITY
[00:27.149] The morning paper said
[00:28.404] the man was shot in the night.
[00:33.656] The television news
[00:34.652] and radio went so crazy.
[00:39.650] But I could not understand at all,
[00:42.895] ‘cause the man they shot used to be called
[00:46.411] just a bum,a good for nothing man of town.
[00:53.648] And then they buried him
[00:55.145] with all the pomp of a knight.
[01:00.155] Just like a movie when the
[01:01.400] bad guy tuens out so right.
[01:06.162] So I laughed it off,and turned the page;
[01:09.648] And everyone was in a rage.
[01:12.901] That was long ago;it’s much the same right now.
[01:20.149] It’s just a matter of time before it changes.
[01:23.397] No matter where,you can find it in the pages.
[01:26.652] The blind are leading the blind;have been for ages.
[01:29.906] It’s like an underground fire that always blazes.
[01:33.139] Boys,boys,boys in the city.
[01:39.651] Boys,boys,boys in the city.
[01:47.600] In the past they had their swords and hours.
[01:49.358] And today,it’s guns and cars and power.
[01:52.358] Don’t you gamble with their luck and forces.
[01:55.608] If you mess with the underground “boys”
[01:59.105] They wont leave you alone.
[02:13.108] I knew a man who needed
[02:14.604] cash,he took out a loan.
[02:19.619] He couldn’t pay it back,
[02:20.863] they took his car and his home.
[02:25.610] In Japan and America,
[02:29.111] In Brazil,France,England,Africa;
[02:32.102] There’s a fire of greed that burns out the good in man.
[02:39.356] It’s just a matter of time before it changes.
[02:42.855] No matter where,you can find it in the pages.
[02:45.854] The blind are leading the blind;have been for ages.
[02:49.358] It’s like an underground fire that always blazes.
[02:52.604] Boys,boys,boys in the city.
[02:59.108] Boys,boys,boys in the city.
[03:05.848] In the past they had their swords and hours.
[03:08.357] And today,it’s guns and cars and power.
[03:11.852] Don’t you gamble with their luck and forces.
[03:15.105] If you mess with the underground “boys”
[03:18.110] They wont leave you alone.
[03:32.611] Boys,boys,boys in the city.
[03:49.609] It’s just a matter of time before it changes.
[03:52.105] No matter where,you can find it in the pages.
[03:56.309] The blind are leading the blind;have been for ages.
[03:59.073] It’s like an underground fire that always blazes.
[04:02.311] Boys,boys,boys in the city……
