When I came to the city I thought it'd be easy Selling my ass came so naturally Too many hot days and too much rich food Couldn't hide the facts if I'd owned the proof Back in California, I swam with the sharks When you didn't smell blood you'd go on a lark Wasted away on that desert shore Like my forebears before me in a foreign world Coal is so black, and eggs are so white Those stupid hicks, they sold off their birthright Drawing the dozers on down to the line Walked over the plains and said, "this is mine" Can't feel the love in a piece of cold steel Met a young slip and told him to strip You work for me now better get on the ship Got to ride these boys hard when they're on my time Havanas aren't free and nor is my ex-wife From a downtown apartment on a Friday night The view's not so good from behind the turnstile So important and only half-done If I could do it again, yeah I'd get the fun Can't feel the love in a piece of cold steel
