Livin' under the street
I'm a hard case
That's tough to beat
I'm your charity case
So buy me somethin' to eat
I'll pay you at another time
Take it to the end of the line
Ragz to richez or so they say
Ya gotta-keep pushin'
For the fortune and fame
It's all a gamble
When it's just a game
Ya treat it like a capital crime
Everybody's doin' their time
Take me down
To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home
Strapped in the chair
Of the city's gas chamber
Why I'm here I can't quite remember
The surgeon general says
It's hazardous to breathe
I'd have another cigarette
But I can't see
Tell me who you're gonna believe
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
Captain America's been torn apart
Now he's a court jester
With a broken heart
He said
Turn me around and
Take me back to the start
I must be losin' my mind
"Are you blind?"
I've seen it all a million times
Just a' urchin Livin' under the street I'm a hard case That's tough to beat I'm your charity case So buy me somethin' to eat I'll pay you at another time Take it to the end of the line Ragz to richez or so they say Ya gotta-keep pushin' For the fortune and fame It's all a gamble When it's just a game Ya treat it like a capital crime Everybody's doin' their time Take me down To the paradise city Where the grass is green And the girls are pretty Take me home Strapped in the chair Of the city's gas chamber Why I'm here I can't quite remember The surgeon general says It's hazardous to breathe I'd have another cigarette But I can't see Tell me who you're gonna believe So far away So far away So far away So far away Captain America's been torn apart Now he's a court jester With a broken heart He said Turn me around and Take me back to the start I must be losin' my mind "Are you blind?" I've seen it all a million times Explain Request ×
