Lyrics

When I came to the city I thought it'd be easy
Selling my ass came so naturally
Too many hot days and too much rich food
Couldn't hide the facts if I'd owned the proof
Back in California, I swam with the sharks
When you didn't smell blood you'd go on a lark
Wasted away on that desert shore
Like my forebears before me in a foreign world
Coal is so black, and eggs are so white
Those stupid hicks, they sold off their birthright
Drawing the dozers on down to the line
Walked over the plains and said, "this is mine"
Can't feel the love in a piece of cold steel
Met a young slip and told him to strip
You work for me now better get on the ship
Got to ride these boys hard when they're on my time
Havanas aren't free and nor is my ex-wife
From a downtown apartment on a Friday night
The view's not so good from behind the turnstile
So important and only half-done
If I could do it again, yeah
I'd get the fun
Can't feel the love in a piece of cold steel
