Sleazy World

Low down, I've got those rhythum and blues
I've been sitting here all night
Staring at the TV news
Shakedown on the city street today
A gunshot fired at the crack of dawn
Pusherman got away
Can't stop livin', don't you think we'd ever learn
It's nothing but a Sleazy World
Hot child, up on the movie screen
Tell us what happened to daddy's girl, doing things
I've never seen
Young boy, in another life, a boozer, a loser
Another abuser, living on the edge of a knife
Slap those politicians, if you don't your money won't
Can't stop givin', never getting in return
Ready or not, never gonna stop, rockin' in a
Sleazy World
Can you hear them, listen to the children cry
What's the price
A human life, take another piece of the pie
Well you can slap those politicians
Cause if you don't
Your money won't, Ah no, Oh no
Let me sing you one more
Can't stop livin', don't you think we'd ever learn
It's just nothing but a Sleazy World
Can't stop givin', never getting in return
Ready or not, I'm never gonna stop
Rockin' in a Sleazy World
Lock up your sons and daughters, save'em from
The slaughterhouse, and you'll get along
Just well and fine
If you don't mind livin' in a Sleazy World
