Sweet child, bad city, once upon a time Prostitution, poverty, and a never-ending rate of crime Corrupt police, in it for the money, never a thought of the truth We were warned a long time ago but it didn't seem to do much use (chorus) Don't try it 'cos I now what you're doing Don't try it 'cos I know your game Don't try it, all your two-faced lying Don't try it, 'cos we know your name Evil men in an office, pretty in their ties and shirts All you touch turns to corruption, King Midas' touch in reverse It's what you always said that you would be doing, while we slumbered on Anyone who stood in your book of evil, would fight before the chance has gone (chorus) instrumental break (chorus) x3
