Combat Zone — текст песни (Nylons)

In every neighbourhood

There is bad and good

Moneys tight, prices overblown

They sell ecstasy

Here on avenue b

One way ticket to the combat zone



The streets are fast and tough

And if youre tough enough

Chances are you can make it on your own

Life on overdrive

You could learn to survive

Livin life in the combat zone





Chorus

Keep your ear to the ground

Keep your shoulder to the wheel

Keep your finger on the pulse

And you can make it

Keep your eye on the dice

Keep your back to the wall

One step ahead of the game

And you can make it





Here is the place, now is the time

Its up to you (get ready now)

You better be on your guard

Sometimes youre blind, you carry on

(business as usual)

How can we be so hard?





You can run away

Or, you can choose to stay

Either way, life can chill you to the bone

You know that golden rule

Dont be nobodys fool

Play it cool, in the combat zone





Chorus





Watch what you say

Watch what you do

Its up to you (get ready now)

Theyll take you for a ride

Before youre bought and sold

Get it up

Get it under control (get ready now)

Theres nowhere you can hide





Chorus





Cant people understand

Theres a world at your command

Cant we trust one another?

What does it take to make you see

We share one destiny

And nothing lasts forever





Higher, this could be the vision

That weve both been dreamin of...





Higher, and so much brighter

Than the stars that shine above
