This ain't no holiday, this is your life
You better get ready to put up with the fight
'Cause they got a plan to make a man out of you
You might even make it to the 6 o'clock news

This ain't no holiday this is their life
They step from the shadows and into the night
Killing time is a brand new career
This is a jungle there ain't no rules here

Away from the city, away from the lights
Away from the city tonight
I'll go anywhere just get me out of here
Away from the city tonight
I just hope that I survive

Daylight fading to grey
I hear the boot stomp on the night brigade
Down on the corner bloodstain on the ground
In the court of disorder a new king is crowned

Take me away from the city, away from the lights
Away from the city tonight
I'll go anywhere just get me out of here
Away from the city tonight
I just hope that I survive to see daylight

Where will you go when there's no one to trust
What will you do when it's them against us
The evil takes care of his own, that's the truth
They're out of their cage and they're on the loose
So get me outta here...

Take me away from the city
Away from the lights
Away from the city tonight
I'll go anywhere just get me out of here
Away from the city tonight
I just hope that I survive
