Tear it up and turn it grey for the sanitized miles. Turn it grey and tear it up for clean-cut faces' ***** smiles. That's the uptown style, boy--                   the predator's call-- so bring your knives and brass knuckles to the board meeting ball. I've watched my town follow gridlines from city parks to parking lots And I can read the prescription spray-painted on the Wal-Mart wall                I'd turn away                 if I could... TAKE TWO A DAY TWO A DAY WITH A BELLY FULL OF MEAT WHEN ASPHALT COVERS ******* FLESH AND YOUR DREAMS ARE ALL CONCRETE TWO A DAY TAKE TWO A DAY Then try to get some sleep where the wires and the tenants wear fatigue. Turn it up and tear away all the sanitized grins. Watch the businessmen play checkers, watch the crocodiles win. That's the uptown game, kid--                   the alpha wolf's goal-- lap the blood off boardroom tables, let the necktied heads roll. They used to watch their kids play there. Trees, voices, playgrounds are all gone. And you can see the prescription spelled out above the mini-malls.               can't run away;               wish you could... TAKE TWO A DAY TWO A DAY OR A MOUTHFUL ALL THEY CARE. WHEN LIONS LEAVE THE BALLROOM, THERE WON'T BE ONE BONE TO SPARE. TAKE TWO A DAY TWO A DAY WITH A BELLY FULL OF MEAT. AMBITION RIPS THROUGH ****** FLESH AND BLEEDS DOLLARS FROM CONCRETE. TWO A DAY TAKE TWO A DAY Then try to get some sleep where tenants and the wiring are fatigued.
