Welcome to the streets of no return where one wrong move leaves you to burn You look all around and see a world in pain yet you've got to be hard to avoid the flames You roll the dice of destiny: it's your only chance if you want to be free Get a good shake, you'll break the curse but if you lose things will only get worse [sub-chorus] Riots in the city streets Fires engulfing the weak Fibers of society are starting to tear As the American dream becomes a nightmare [chorus] That's life in the school of hard knocks Where people try to swim rivers in concrete socks That's life in the school of hard knocks Where departure comes easy in a pine wood box Read the lines, another one deceased: violence reigns in this time of peace No haven is safe for your kids or wife: for a measly dollar someone will take your life Yet you've got to be mean, bring down the boot 10 eyes for an eye, 10 teeth for a tooth In the concrete jungle there's just one rule: do onto others before they do unto you [repeat sub-chorus] [repeat chorus] From this urban nightmare there's no escape Your chance of survival depends on your learning to hate It's survival of the fittest, the weak will die When you look at the reaper, spit in his eye!Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
