Lonely Part of Town

Blinking red lights, sirens wail, shots are fired, no one's in jail
How may people, do I have to lose, how much time does it take
Before I paid my dues?
I live in a lonely part of town, half the houses empty
Friends no longer found no no
I live in a lonely part of town, windows are boarded down
No longer safe and sound no no

We got deserted cars, and seedy bars
And gambling action too
We got every way on every day to find what pleases you
We got collared crime of blue and white so come and get your thrill
On a sailboat ride, when it's high tide, of all the blood that's spilled
I live in a lonely part of town, half the houses empty
Friends no longer found no no
I live in a lonely part of town, windows are boarded down
No longer safe and sound no no

Politicians in blue suits, while downtown falls apart
We never finish nothing, because we never start
When you live among the crazies, you know crazy doesn't stop
Just the other day, a crazy shot a cop
I live in a lonely part of town, half the houses empty
Friends no longer found no no
I live in a lonely part of town, windows are boarded down
No longer safe and sound no no
I live in a lonely part of town, I live in a lonely part of town
Things ain't what they used to, friends no longer found
