Down In The City

(Album: L.A. Guns - 1988)

A boy shoots a gun, a girl looks for fun
Running round in the Hollywood streets
Shakedown all around,
Lay your dirty money down
You can't always get what you need

Midnight's cool, right, die in the moonlight
No cure for the social disease
Sex fiends, Acid Queens, living on a bad dream
This town never sleeps

Down in the city
Getting what you need
Down in the city
Make your poor heart bleed

Living by the trigger, always better if it's bigger
Won't catch me down on my knees
Shake it down, lay it down, Sin City all around
Hollywood's the city of sleaze
Loose change, no-names, looking for a fast way
To make it to the top at the heap
Face down, gutter bound,
Laughing at the poor clown
Walking on his name in the street

Down in the city
Give you what ya need
Down in the city
Make your poor heart bleed

Ha, ha, ha, ha

A boy shoots a gun, a girl looks for fun
Running round in the Hollywood streets
Shakedown all around,
Lay your dirty money down
You can't always get what you need
Loose change, no-names, looking for a fast way
To make it to the top of the heap
Face down, gutter bound,
Laughing at the poor clown
Walkin on his name in the street

Down in the city
Give you what ya need
Down in the city
Make your poor heart bleed

Down in the city
Give you what ya need
Down in the city
It's good enough for me

You're gonna burn
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
