The Corrupt Ones
(Garaventz / Kaye)
Here in this town of dirt and greed
Playground where devils play
Here where I had the bad, bad luck to be born
Here I must stay
Here I belong
Here I will die
Caught in the web of love
I can't escape
Won't even try
My fate is tied with the Corrupt Ones
Especially with one guy
He came around when I was down
Opened new worlds for me
Gave him my love
And dreamed of breaking my chains of misery
But I was wrong
I soon would learn
Thinking I'd leave this town
Here he found wealth
Money to burn
Not like the nowhere
Where he came from
And he would never return
Here I belong
Here I will die
Caught in the web of love
I can't escape
Won't even try
My fate is tied with the Corrupt Ones
Especially with one guy
Especially with one guy
Here in this town of dirt and greed
Playground where devils play
Here where I had the bad, bad luck to be born
Here I must stay
Here I belong
Here I will die
Caught in the web of love
I can't escape
Won't even try
My fate is tied with the Corrupt Ones
Especially with one guy
He came around when I was down
Opened new worlds for me
Gave him my love
And dreamed of breaking my chains of misery
But I was wrong
I soon would learn
Thinking I'd leave this town
Here he found wealth
Money to burn
Not like the nowhere
Where he came from
And he would never return
Here I belong
Here I will die
Caught in the web of love
I can't escape
Won't even try
My fate is tied with the Corrupt Ones
Especially with one guy
Especially with one guy
