Steel Claw

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
