Well iá¹—ve been walkin
down a one way dirty street
tryin to find the answers
and iá¹—ve been hopin
for a chance to meet
the rat that spread the cancer
And the lies theyá¹—ve been spinnin
and the smiles theyá¹—ve been grinnin
there has sure been some sinnin
but nobodyá¹—s winnin
when the walls start to crumblin
you feel like youá¹—re stumblin
and nobody wants you when youá¹—re down
They took the boy from the city
but they caná¹—t take the city from
the boys lookiná¹— pretty
now heá¹—s lookin like a pity
cut the flesh down to the bone
but you caná¹—t get
you caná¹—t get blood from a stone
you caná¹—t get blood from a stone
Well iá¹—m a rollin
but my trainá¹—s gone off the tracks
and my wheels are spinnin
and iá¹—m a walkin
down a one way dirty street
but my heartá¹—s not sinkin
From the love theyá¹—ve been buyin
and the blues theyá¹—ve been cryin
now the time keeps a flyin
but nobodyá¹—s tryin
cause the love of the money
didná¹—t turn out so sunny
when the wellá¹—s dry
no one comes around
They took the boy from the city
but they caná¹—t take the city from the
boys lookin pretty
now heá¹—s lookin like a pity
cut the flesh down to the bone
but you caná¹—t get
you caná¹—t get from a stone
You can try
but i still got the fight in my eyes
suck it dry
cause iá¹—ve had about enough of your lies
They took the boy from the city
but they caná¹—t take the city form the
boys lookin pretty
now heá¹—s lookin like a pity
cut the flesh down to the bone
but you caná¹—t get blood from a stone
They took the boy form the city
but they caná¹—t take the city from the
boys lookin pretty
now heá¹—s looking like a pity
cut the flesh down to the bone
but you caná¹—t get
you caná¹—t get blood from a stone
