Lyrics
It's just a television wonderland It's one more fairytale about a rich bitch Lying by the swimming pool Life is so cool Easy living when you make the rules Last Friday was the first time It only took about a half a minute On the stairway It was child's play The odds turn out even when you give up believing in the Cold law, steel claw Try to get on board you find the lock is on the door Well I say no way Don't try to keep me out or there'll be hell to pay I don't know who's right or who's wrong It doesn't really matter when you're lying in the gutter It's a see saw A long battle with the cold law Is what you get for messing with the steel claw The politicians have forgotten this place Except for a flying visit in a black Mercedes No election They cross the line And everybody runs to watch the pantomime If they could see what's going on around here So many people hanging onto the edge Crying out for revolution Retribution The odds turn out even When you give up believing in the Cold law, steel claw Try to get on board you find the lock is on the door Well I say no way Don't try to keep me out or there'll be hell to pay I don't know who's right or who's wrong It doesn't really matter when you're lying in the gutter It's a see saw A long battle with the cold law Is what you get for messing with the steel claw Sometimes I think I'm going crazy Sometimes I do a line, makes me laugh Makes me want to take a joyride On the high tide Sometimes I'm contemplating suicide Meanwhile Eddy is on the west coast I know he's making out with some sweet senorita Up in Frisco You and I know The odds turn out even When you give up believing in the Cold law, steel claw Try to get on board you find the lock is on the door Well I say no way Don't try to keep me out or there'll be hell to pay I don't know who's right or who's wrong It doesn't really matter when you're lying in the gutter It's a see saw A long battle with the cold law Is what you get for messing with the steel claw
