Combat Zone Lyrics - Nylons

In every neighborhood there is bad and good 

Money's tight, prices overblown 

They sell ecstasy here on avenue B 

One way ticket to the combat zone 

The streets are fast and tough and if you're tough enough 

Chances are you can make it on your own 

Life on overdrive, you could learn to survive 

Livin' life in the combat zone 

Keep your ear to the ground 

Keep your shoulder to the wheel 

Keep your finger on the pulse 

And you can make it 

Keep your eye on the dice 

Keep your back to the wall 

One step ahead of the game 

And you can make it 

Here is the place, now is the time 

It's up to you 

(Get ready now) 

You better be on your guard 

Sometimes you're blind, you carry on 

(Business as usual) 

How can we be so hard? 

You can run away or, you can choose to stay 

Either way, life can chill you to the bone 

You know that golden rule, don't be nobody's fool 

Play it cool, in the combat zone 

Keep your ear to the ground 

Keep your shoulder to the wheel 

Keep your finger on the pulse 

And you can make it 

Keep your eye on the dice 

Keep your back to the wall 

One step ahead of the game 

And you can make it 

Watch what you say, watch what you do 

It's up to you 

(Get ready now) 

They'll take you for a ride 

Before you're bought and sold 

Get it up, get it under control 

(Get ready now) 

There's nowhere you can hide 

Keep your ear to the ground 

Keep your shoulder to the wheel 

Keep your finger on the pulse 

And you can make it 

Keep your eye on the dice 

Keep your back to the wall 

One step ahead of the game 

And you can make it 

Can't people understand there's a world at your command 

Can't we trust one another? 

What does it take to make you see 

We share one destiny and nothing lasts forever 

Higher, this could be the vision 

That we've both been dreamin' of 

Higher, and so much brighter 

Than the stars that shine above
