In The City (Remastered 2004)

Pay your debt to the man on the corner

He poses a threat and he seems a tall order

He's making his way to you

Through a heavy crowd

He's coming along and he's coming straight for you

And everyone does their best

To ignore your screams and your pleas

No matter how loud

What can you do when you know he carries a knife

Give up the money or give up your life

And who would ever wanna die so young

That's the price you pay

For having fun

The world is a rough tough place to be

On a Friday night out in the city

When there's no one in the end who's looking out for you

So pay your debt or be quick to run

Or in the next day paper be another one

Who bit off more than he could even chew

He bit off more than he could even chew

What can you do when you know he carries a knife

Give up the money or give up your life

And who would ever wanna die so young

But that's the price you pay

For having fun

What's this world coming to

What's this world coming to

What's this world coming to

And why is he doing it to you

What can you do when you know he carries a knife

Give up the money or give up your life

And who would ever wanna die so young

That's the price you pay

For having fun
