Little tramp comin´ up the strip with a hundred dollar smile Sparks flyin´ off her fingertips, drive the young cop wild Some nights are wound so tight like a storm about to break
Better stand in your doorway when everything starts to shake
You get restless like a cat waking up at midnight, Hungry, never quite satisfied
This is our world and these are our times This is our world and these are our times
Little brother like a street god with a drop dead attitude Say he´s looking like a shadow now, runnin´ low on green and food Some lives are wound up tight like a wave about to crash Hard times seem to multiply while the joy runs out so fast
You get restless like a kid crawling out of a bad dream Hungry, never quite satisfied
[x2] This is our world and these are our times This is our world and these are our times
[Solo]
Make way for the son of a rebel wired to a bottle of flame He´s got two black eyes and a purple heart and a bone hangin´ on a chain These times are like dynamite, a head-on with history Some fool´s bound to burn it all down, don´t care about you and me
He´ll get desperate like a child in the eye of a nightmare Hungry, never quite satisfied
[x2] This is our world and these are our times This is our world and these are our times
