[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……
