Sweet child, bad city, once upon a time
Prostitution, poverty, and a never-ending rate of crime
Corrupt police, in it for the money, never a thought of the truth
We were warned a long time ago but it didn't seem to do much use
(chorus)
Don't try it 'cos I now what you're doing
Don't try it 'cos I know your game
Don't try it, all your two-faced lying
Don't try it, 'cos we know your name
Evil men in an office, pretty in their ties and shirts
All you touch turns to corruption, King Midas' touch in reverse
It's what you always said that you would be doing, while we slumbered on
Anyone who stood in your book of evil, would fight before the chance has gone
