Down In The City Lyrics

Down In The City

A boy shoots a gun, a girl looks for fun

Runnin' round in the Hollywood streets

Shakedown all around,

Lay your dirty money down

You can't always get what you need



Midnight's cool, right, die in the moonlight

No cure for the social disease

Sex fiends, Acid Queens, livin' on a bad dream 

This town never sleeps



Down in the city

Gettin' what you need

Down in the city

Make your poor heart bleed



Livin' by the trigger, always better if it's bigger

Won't catch me down on my knees

Shake it down, lay it down, Sin City all around

Hollywood's the city of sleaze

Loose change, no-names, lookin' for a fast way

To make it to the top ot the heap

Face down, gutter bound,

Laughin' at the poor clown

Walkin' on his name in the street



Down in the city

Give you what ya need

Down in the city

Make your poor heart bleed



Ha, ha, ha, ha



A boy shoots a gun, a girl looks for fun

Runnin' round in the Hollywood streets

Shakedown all around, 

Lay your dirty money down

You can't always get what you need

Loose change, no-names, lookin' for a fast way

To make it to the top of the heap

Face down, gutter bound,

Laughin' at the poor clown

Walkin on his name in the street



Down in the city

Give you what ya need

Down in the city

Make your poor heart bleed



Down in the city

Give you what ya need

Down in the city

It's good enough for me



You're gonna burn

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
