You look out, you see A man on his knees Sick of his life High on crack Just a wreck dead You get out, you see A man's misery Cracked up his mind One more mad One more dead Dead or alive Downtown connection You've got to choose A deal with hell Dead or alive It will burn you out It wants to smash you down Caught in trouble, caught in pain Undercover murderer kills you certainly Not me, I'll win the fight Not me, I'll stay alive Not me, I'll do it right I can't help myself Dead or alive Help me God Help me please Help me out Please don't let me die
