Fire in the Eyes of the City
There's fire in the eyes of the city
It burns you to your soul
Society will teach you things
That you really don't want to know
Death stalks the streets of the city
Looking to take your life
Better stay away from the city
If you don't want to die
The lights are flashing new songs
The scenes are so unreal
Your dream becomes a nightmare
And the wounds will never heal
The pawns in life go crawling
Just surviving in the slime
As gods of wall street sit judging
From castles in the sky
Shadows of hunger are hiding
In stairways down to hell
Their dreams were just as golden
Just no chance to tell
The big man learns to swindle
And hustlers walk the street
The pin-striped men to buy a boat
But the bad lady just to eat
It burns you to your soul
Society will teach you things
That you really don't want to know
Death stalks the streets of the city
Looking to take your life
Better stay away from the city
If you don't want to die
The lights are flashing new songs
The scenes are so unreal
Your dream becomes a nightmare
And the wounds will never heal
The pawns in life go crawling
Just surviving in the slime
As gods of wall street sit judging
From castles in the sky
Shadows of hunger are hiding
In stairways down to hell
Their dreams were just as golden
Just no chance to tell
The big man learns to swindle
And hustlers walk the street
The pin-striped men to buy a boat
But the bad lady just to eat
