Deadline Usa Lyrics - Singles - Shalamar

Concrete's burning with the beat as people go rushing by 

City's bustin' with the anger as everybody stands in line 

I don't care no more, listenin' to the lion's roar 

No one gets enough, it's not for me to care too much 

Heat is off, the ceiling is leakin' and nobody lends a hand 

There's more to life than bringing home the bacon and throw it in the frying pan 

Phone book off the wall, bill collectors down the hall 

Dreams have hit the floor and everybody screams more and more 

Chorus: 

I know I can make it, I know I can take it 

Headline: Deadline USA (Oh) 

Danger's on the wire, whole world's caught on fire 

Headline: Deadline USA 

Blind Ambition fills the hearts of men with an evil lie 

Slap you with the word and hit you with the tab and then they apologize 

Don't give me a line, expect me to be satisfied 

I don't understand how truth and lies go hand-in-hand 

Chorus: 

I know I can make it, I know I can take it 

Headline: Deadline USA (Oh don't you know?) 

Danger's on the wire, whole world's caught on fire 

Headline: Deadline USA (Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey~ Hoo Hoo) 

You can look into a glass and cry that it's halfway gone 

I can drink the same champagne and be happy that it lasts so long 

It's all high you see, good and bad and what you need 

Fate cuts like a knife so might as well just live your life 

Chorus: 

I know I can make it, I know I can take it 

Headline: Deadline USA (Oh don't you know?) 

Danger's on the wire, whole world's caught on fire 

Headline: Deadline USA (Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey~ ) 

I know I can make it, I know I can take it 

Headline: Deadline USA
