Young man is angry, girl is afraid

She want to get high, He want to get paid



He had to jump up, she had to sit down

When they heard those words

About the trouble downtown



He had to shout, she had to cry

He wanted to kill, she wanted to die



City's burning

Cities burning



Grab for the dial, tune out the fright

But he turns left and she turns right

She look for love songs, he buys the drive

But all they can pull is bad news in tonight



City's burning

Cities burning



Ooohh mama tell me what do do

Aaahh daddy you better pull us through
