[Intro]

Got you under their thumb

Out on the street for a living
Picture's only begun
Your day is sorrow and madness
Got you under their thumb
[Chorus]
Whoo, black diamond!
Whoo, black diamond!
[Verse 2]
Darkness will fall on the city

Although you don't ask for pity
There's nothing that you can do
[Chorus]
Whoo, black diamond!
Whoo, black diamond!
[Instrumental break 2:13-3:02]
Aaah, yeah!
[Verse 3]
Out on the streets for a living
Picture's only begun
Your day is sorrow and madness
Got you under my thumb
[Chorus]
Whoo, black diamond, yeah, yeah
Whoo, black diamond!
[Instrumental break 3:29-5:22]
[Outro]
Good night!
