Lethal Underground Lyrics - Singles - Jerusalem Slim

It's panic time 

In the tale of two cities 

Such a crime 

the needy and the greedy 

Downtown is deadly 

The nerve of the killer elite 

Home street home, a place of no retreat 

Life on antisocial insecurity 

A great performance in the most extreme cruelty 

On the mean streets the heart is stainless 

The mainline is fixin' fine 

On the mean streets the wire is painless 

Gonna turn your world around 

They're shutting done 

The lethal underground 

Kiss and sell 

The passion of treason 

The candy's bad 

And plenty every season 

Hate it or leave it 

You gotta see it to believe it 

The only high is going down the drain 

Ain't no ordinary angel falling from disgrace 

It's just the darkness 

Always leaving tracks across the face 

On the mean streets the heart is stainless 

The mainline is fixin' fine 

On the mean streets the wire is painless 

Gonna turn your world around 

They're shutting done 

The lethal underground 

On the mean streets the heart is stainless 

The mainline is fixin' fine 

On the mean streets the wire is painless 

Gonna turn your world around 

On the mean streets you gotta be crazy 

To maintain your sanity 

On the mean streets the boundary is hazy 

Gonna turn your world around 

They're shutting down 

The lethal underground 

Yeah the torture garden 

Is growing upside down 

Murder and mayhem 

The fury without a sound 

They don't care 

They're shutting down 

The lethal underground
