Steel Claw (Live)

It's just a television wonderland Just one more fairytale about a rich bitch Lying by the swimming pool Life is so cruel Easy living when you make the rules But last Friday was the first time It only took about a half a minute On the stairway It was child's play The odds turn out even when you give up believing in the Cold law, steel claw Try to get on board, you find the lock is on the door Well, I say, no way, no way! Don't try to get out or there'll be hell to pay I don't know who's right, who's wrong It really doesn't matter when you're lying in the gutter It's a see-saw A long hot battle with the cold law It's what you get for messing with the steel claw The politicians have forgotten this place Except for flying visits in a black Mercedes On election time Cross the line And everybody runs to catch the pantomime If you could see what's going on around here So many people hanging on the edge crying out for revolution Retribution The odds come out even when you give up believing in the Cold law, steel claw Try to get on board, you find the lock is on the door Well, I say, no way, no way! Don't try to get out or there'll be hell to pay I don't know who's right, who's wrong It really doesn't matter when you're lying in the gutter It's a see-saw A long hot battle with the cold law Is what you get for messing with the steel claw (Take it home) Sometimes I think I'm going crazy Sometimes I, I do a line, makes me laugh Makes me want to take a joyride On the high tide Sometimes I'm contemplating suicide Meanwhile, Eddy's on the West Coast I hear he's making out with some sweet señorita up in Frisco You and I know The odds come out even when you give up believing in the Cold law, steel claw Try to get on board, you find the lock is on the door Well, I say, no way, no way! Don't try to get out or there'll be hell to pay I don't know who's right, who's wrong It really doesn't matter when you're lying in the gutter It's a see-saw A long hot battle with the cold law Is what you get for messing with the steel claw Cold law, steel claw No, no, no, no, no, no Oh! Oww!
