| [00:16.938] |
Blackout, heatwave, .44 caliber homicide |
| [00:22.124] |
The buns drop dead and dogs go mad |
| [00:24.388] |
In packs on the West Side |
| [00:27.400] |
Young girl standing on a ledge looks like another suicide |
| [00:32.409] |
She wants to hit those bricks |
| [00:33.910] |
'Cause the news at six gotta stick to a deadline |
| [00:37.755] |
While the millionaires hide in Beekman Place |
| [00:40.384] |
The bag ladies throw their bones in my face |
| [00:43.023] |
I get attacked by a kid with stereo sound |
| [00:45.657] |
I don't want to hear it but he won't turn it down |
| [00:47.996] |
Life is tough but it's just enough |
| [00:50.685] |
To hold back the tears until it's closing time |
| [00:55.654] |
I survived, I'm still alive |
| [00:57.286] |
But I'm getting close to the borderline |
| [01:03.433] |
Close to the borderline |
| [01:09.094] |
A buck three eighty |
| [01:10.938] |
Won't buy you much lately on the street these days |
| [01:13.749] |
And when you can get gas |
| [01:16.080] |
You know you can't drive fast anymore on the parkways |
| [01:19.987] |
Rich man, poor man, either way American |
| [01:22.987] |
Shoved into the lost and found |
| [01:25.615] |
The no nuke yell we're gonna all go to hell |
| [01:28.039] |
With the next big meltdown |
| [01:30.469] |
I got remote control and a color T.V. |
| [01:33.169] |
I don't change channels so they must change me |
| [01:36.032] |
I got real close friends that will get me high |
| [01:38.495] |
They don't know hot to talk and they ain't gonna try |
| [01:41.480] |
I shouldn't *****, I shouldn't cry |
| [01:43.853] |
I'd start a revolution but I don't have time |
| [01:48.357] |
I don't know why I'm still a nice guy |
| [01:50.102] |
But I'm getting close to the borderline |
| [01:56.204] |
Close to the borderline |
| [02:03.962] |
I thought I'd sacrifice so many things |
| [02:07.643] |
I thought I'd throw them all away |
| [02:14.039] |
I didn't think I needed anything |
| [02:18.300] |
But you can't afford to squander what you're not prepared to pay |
| [02:45.514] |
I need a doctor for my pressure pills |
| [02:47.392] |
I need a lawyer for my medical bills |
| [02:50.508] |
I need a banker to finance my home |
| [02:52.893] |
I need security to back my loan |
| [02:55.714] |
It isn't new what I'm going through |
| [02:57.866] |
But everybody knows you got to break sometime |
| [03:02.265] |
Another night I fought the good fight |
| [03:03.234] |
But I'm getting closer to the borderline |
| [03:10.489] |
Closer to the borderline |
