Runaways and rapists   Fill the streets at night   Broken bottles   Glimmer in the city lights   In the allies old winds blow      In the crowd of people   On the subway trains   No one looks into your eyes   In the park a junkie dies      Cruel town, it’s a cruel town   Cold people cruel town   Cruel town, it’s a cruel town   If you fall, you stay down      Cold city, cruel system   Nothing’s made for people      See the run down alcoes   Drift in the mall   Laws change   And governments fall   But the beggars all remain      Cruel town, it’s a cruel town   Cold people cruel town   Cruel town, it’s a cruel town   If you fall, you stay down      Cold city, cruel system   Nothing’s made for people      Cruel town, it’s a cruel town   Cold people, cruel town   Cruel town, it’s a cruel town   If you fall, you stay down      You stay down   You never get up
