Born in the backstreets In the rotten part of town Far away from the city lights They're pushing you around 'n round Fast women, fast money Keep on seducing you Small mugs, big sharks Are pushing and controlling you And when it seems as if The world comes tumbling down And you are wondering Why you're still around Born in dust and ruble Fight to be free forevermore Burn down the bridges And leave it all behind Leave tonight for tomorrow Death and violence rule the street Obey or die - you're under the gun Oppression - submission They cycle's going on an on This ain't your destiny So spread your wings and fly Keep the faith and don't look back Lift your spirit high Born in dust and ruble Fight to be free forevermore Burn down the bridges And leave it all behind Leave tonight for tomorrow And when it seems again The world comes tumbling down Don't be afraid, my friend Cause you won't be around Born in dust and ruble Fight to be free forevermore Burn down the bridges And leave it all behind Leave tonight for tomorrow
