Steel Claw

Lyrics

A night in television wonderland Just one more fairytale about a rich bitch Lying by the swimming pool It's the golden rule High life is easy 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 in the door Well I say no way Don't try to keep me out or there'll be hell to pay I don't care who's right or who's wrong But it really doesn't matter when you're crawling in the gutter It's a see saw A long, hard battle with the cold law That's what you get for messing with the steel claw The politicians have forgotten this place 'cept for a flying visit in a black Mercedes At election time 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 in the door Well I say no way Don't try to keep me out or there'll be hell to pay I don't care who's right or who's wrong But it really doesn't matter when you're crawling in the gutter It's a see saw A long, hard battle with the cold law That's 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 wanna take a joyride On the high tide Sometimes I'm contemplating suicide Meanwhile [?] I know he's making out with some sweet señorita They go dancin' in the moonlight 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 in the door Well I say no way Don't try to keep me out or there'll be hell to pay I don't care who's right or who's wrong But it really doesn't matter when you're crawling in the gutter It's a see saw A long, hard battle with the cold law That's what you get for messing with the steel claw
