Hot night on a city street
Old papers blowin' around my feet
Some dudes got his eye on you
Better walk quickly down the Avenue

Somewhere somebody's baby cries
A new heart beats as another one dies
It ain't easy, but ya live and learn
If you don't get what you want you might get what you deserve

It's a Rough town
Ya give it all just to live in fear
No refuge - to place to run
Talkin' 'bout a rough town
Gotta find a way to get outta here
Ain't no way around it it's a roughtown

Cold dawn comes with the break of day
Mornin' sky turns gun metal grey
From an upstairs window there's a woman's scream
I nightmare vision from some junkies dream

An angry fist beating down an old steel door
Tell me why you here - hey what you lookin' for?

It ain't easy - but it ain't for long
This place is crazy - tell me where did things go wrong

It's a Rough town
Livin on the line - the streets alive
It's a gamble it's the chance you take
Talkin' bout a rough town
Gonna turn your whole world inside out
Call it what you want but it's a roughtown

2AM I can't get to sleep
I've been lying in here in these sweat stained sheets
Beneath my window the city crawls
It's a rat race outside these walls

It's a rough town
