My friends live in a bad part of town And when I go to see them it always brings me down Theres bars across their windows iron gates upon their door And the whole neighborhood looks like the middle of a war We crawl through the back streets in the dead of night Windows rolled up and doors locked tight Creep up the alley trying not to make a sound Always looking round for what might be coming down You know we havent got a nickel havent got a dime Cant even get on welfare cause we havent got the time To be pushed and pulled through those bureaucratic slots And have our lives filed away in some plastic box I dont know why it is That people have to live like this Gotta get out before its too late Gotta get out whatever it takes Because were living behind bars and we got no choice Living behind bars and we got no voice Living behind bars and we got to get away On the other side of town theres a great big wall Where the rich man lives hes afraid of it all Hes worried about the people he might happen to meet If he ever set foot out on the street And the red lights flash and the sirens howl And the burglar alarms ring and the guard dogs growl Old lady fishing through a garbage can but I still cant seem to understand Why were living behind bars and its time to move Living behind bars what have we got to lose Living behind bars and we got to get away Living behind bars it seems like we got missed Living behind bars how did it come to this Living behind bars and we got to get away Living behind bars every night and day Living behind bars we cant go on this way Living behind bars and we got to get away |
