runaways and rapists
fill the streets at night
broken bottles glimmer in the city lights
in the alleys cold wind blows

in the crowd of people
in the subway trains
no one looks into your eyes
in the park a junkie dies

aaah

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 the goverments fall
but the beggars all remain

aaah

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
you never get up
