Well I¹ve been walkin   Down a one way dirty street   Tryin to find the answers   And I¹ve been hopin   For a chance to meet   The rat that spread the cancer      And the lies they¹ve been spinnin   And the smiles they¹ve been grinnin   There has sure been some sinnin   But nobody¹s winnin   When the walls start to crumblin   You feel like you¹re stumblin   And nobody wants you when you¹re down      They took the boy from the city   But they can¹t take the city from   the boys lookin¹ pretty   Now he¹s lookin like a pity   Cut the flesh down to the bone   But you can¹t get   You can¹t get blood from a stone   You can¹t get blood from a stone      Well I¹m a rollin   But my train¹s gone off the tracks   and my wheels are spinnin   And I¹m a walkin   Down a one way dirty street   But my heart¹s not sinkin      From the love they¹ve been buyin   And the blues they¹ve been cryin   Now the time keeps a flyin   But nobody¹s tryin   Cause the love of the money   Didn¹t turn out so sunny   When the well¹s dry   No one comes around      They took the boy from the city   But they can¹t take the city from the   Boys lookin pretty   Now he¹s lookin like a pity   Cut the flesh down to the bone   But you can¹t get   You can¹t get from a stone      You can try   But I still got the fight in my eyes   Suck it dry   Cause I¹ve had about enough of your lies      They took the boy from the city   But they can¹t take the city form the   Boys lookin pretty   Now he¹s lookin like a pity   Cut the flesh down to the bone   But you can¹t get blood from a stone      They took the boy form the city   But they can¹t take the city from the   Boys lookin pretty   Now he¹s looking like a pity   Cut the flesh down to the bone   But you can¹t get   You can¹t get blood from a stone
