Well išve been walkin
down a one way dirty street
tryin to find the answers
and išve been hopin
for a chance to meet
the rat that spread the cancer
And the lies theyšve been spinnin
and the smiles theyšve been grinnin
there has sure been some sinnin
but nobodyšs winnin
when the walls start to crumblin
you feel like youšre stumblin
and nobody wants you when youšre down
They took the boy from the city
but they canšt take the city from
the boys lookinš pretty
now hešs lookin like a pity
cut the flesh down to the bone
but you canšt get
you canšt get blood from a stone
you canšt get blood from a stone
Well išm a rollin
but my trainšs gone off the tracks
and my wheels are spinnin
and išm a walkin
down a one way dirty street
but my heartšs not sinkin
From the love theyšve been buyin
and the blues theyšve been cryin
now the time keeps a flyin
but nobodyšs tryin
cause the love of the money
didnšt turn out so sunny
when the wellšs dry
no one comes around
They took the boy from the city
but they canšt take the city from the
boys lookin pretty
now hešs lookin like a pity
cut the flesh down to the bone
but you canšt get
you canšt get from a stone
You can try
but i still got the fight in my eyes
suck it dry
cause išve had about enough of your lies
They took the boy from the city
but they canšt take the city form the
boys lookin pretty
now hešs lookin like a pity
cut the flesh down to the bone
but you canšt get blood from a stone
They took the boy form the city
but they canšt take the city from the
boys lookin pretty
now hešs looking like a pity
cut the flesh down to the bone
but you canšt get
you canšt get blood from a stone
