In The Big City

[Verse 1]:

You know, late at night
While everybody's into their masquerades
Across town there is a place
Where all the drifters are on parade

It's not the kind you go and see
It ain't no place for you and me
Or the mild and meek

A lost generation
Living in a secret society (secret society)
To be in this club
A knife or a gun's your only identity (only identity)

You know there ain't no prejudice
But once you're in, you touch your lips
On the killer kiss

[Pre-Chorus]:

Hey, killer man, lost in the night
He comes alive when he knows there's a fight
Hey, killer man, give me a light
He reaches into his pocket
Drop it! Gonna getcha now!

[Chorus]:

Another fool in the big city
Better watch your back when the clock strikes the hour
Ooh..., in the big city
Better load your gun

[Verse 2]:

Alone late at night
Is not the time to take a walk in the streets
There's no way to know
What's hidden in the shadows beneath the trees

Don't matter if you're young or old
There's no protection in the law
They'll just take you cold

[Repeat pre-Chorus & chrous]

Don't be a fool in the big city
Better watch your back from the cracks & the shadows
Ooh..., in the big city
You're the only one

[Repeat pre-Chorus & chorus]

Don't be a fool in the big city
Better watch your back from the cracks & the shadows
Ooh..., in the big city
You're the only one

Don't be a fool in the big city
Better watch your back when the clock strikes the hour
Ooh..., in the big city
Better load your gun
