歌詞
[Verse 1]
Good God, yeah
[Verse 2]
Well, sugar ain't so sweet with blood on your feet
Said welcome to the world around ya
If you want out, you gotta get it done
Ain't nobody here to help ya
[Verse 3]
Mama's in the bathroom fixin' her addiction
Gotta make herself feel better
Businessman, he come and kill it all for fun
Walk away and leave ya dyin'
[Verse 4]
Hey, what do ya say?
New York City has put the Devil in me
Down in Missouri, my daddy was a poor boy
He ain't got nothing, just another hard-luck champion
Got to earn that money
He got to get himself a better way
[Verse 5]
Around the back, outside the rich man's shack
See the joker and the fallen hero
Beggin' for some wine and a little time
Gotta pick themselves up from zero
[Verse 6]
I don't want no free ride 'cause I got too much pride
But a pain like this I'll sure remember
Some luck is only bad and love is only sad
When life is now or never
[Verse 7]
Hey, what do ya say?
New York City has put the Devil in me
Down in Missouri, my daddy was a poor boy
He ain't got nothing, just another hard-luck champion
Got to earn his money
He got to get himself a better way, yeah-ay
[Verse 8]
Goin' southbound on the break
[Verse 9]
Went to the old man to find the answer
(The answer)
And he said the river knows
(He said the river knows)
Went to the old man to hear the story
(Hear the story)
And this is how the story goes, it goes
[Verse 10]
Bang and you're dead
Life's like a bullet to the head
Boy, there ain't no black or white
Only wrong and right
[Verse 11]
What do you say?
Well, New York City
Has put the Devil in me
Down in Missouri, my daddy was a poor boy
He ain't got nothing, just another hard-luck champion
Got to earn that money
He got to get himself a better way
[Verse 12]
Get a better way
Ah, get a better way
Get a better way
Ah, get a better way
(Get a better way)
Get a better way
Get a better way
Get a better way
(Get a better way)
Ah, get a better way
