Satellite Blues

Hey you, you're walking down a New York street Feel the tension in the midday heat You're walking on blood TV, it's all there on a japanese screen East, West there's no in between Now, we just love "The Reds" Everything is now because the past is dead You've got to look forward if you want to get ahead What kind of person sells a young person drugs? You bring them up good but don't call them thugs Third world stories, well they make the news It;s a five minute wonder, call it ..... Satellite blues Any way the wind blows Dive, dive ! Underground is just the place to be So cool, it keeps the city clean Now walk on by I said "Walk, walk, don't run !" Don't you know You've got to Follow the signs? This life's so cruel, so cruel to be kind It's a one-way street You've got to live on the edge just to make a big deal This life's big fun, man, it's like a roulette wheel What kind of world would let these children die? There's so much money we could all retire We could all live happily if we choose But it's a five minute wonder, call it ...
