Danny was a boy with a teenage dream   Now he's hanging with the dudes   In a real mean team   Burning up his fuel at a tender age   When reality hit him like a slap in the face   Now he's always on the run   He's gotta fight gotta be strong      Where the tough gets going   Where the wild ones meet   Where the odds are low   And the talk is cheap   There's a cold wind blowing   Out on every street   Where the violence grows   Where the blood runs deep      Danny got caught at the scene of the crime   With a gun in his hand and a bloodstained alibi   Now he's doing his time down at Motel Hell   Looking out at the world from a stone cold prison cell   He's gotta hold his head up high   He's gotta struggle to stay alive   To survive      Chorus      He was hung up   Strung up for all his life   See the look in his eyes   The flick of the knife   Got off the rails   Sent to jail   Everybody's got their price   In life to pay      Chorus
