When the rent is too high and the wages are low
Taking a chance with the devil you know
Give an arm, a leg, part of your soul
Shaking the dirt from the body you sold
Putting your faith in the man at the door
You need it today, think you've seen it before
Fired, leave it, tougher you get
Watching them grow and you try to forget
It's your turn to pay
You could be bleeding to death
I'm gonna look the other way
Look the other way
Listen, G.I. Joe's always taking the stage
Meet no dolls, they're turning the page
Beggars in the field, could it happen again?
Where's the man that's gonna hold back the rain?
Too many blind men want you to pay
Calling your names, never care what you say
Easy money, stab in the dark
Try to remember when you had the spark
It's your turn to pay
You could be bleeding to death
I'm gonna look the other way
Look the other way
Look the other way
Take it

Stale cigarettes in corridors clings to her clothes
And inside, the memory cuts across his brain
He writes to the unlucky ones, so careful to whitewash the lies
I'm so pleased to meet you, I'm so pleased to meet you
To have this opportunity
♪
Walk the street, pick up strays
Pale-faced man, tiger's at play
Live in the night, never feeling the pain
Where's the man who gonna hold back the rain?
Corridor run through a burnt-out few
Wild cat's eyes never care if you lose
Easy money, stab in the dark
Try to remember when you had the spark
It's your turn to pay
You could be bleeding to death
I'm gonna look the other way
Look the other way
Look the other way
Look the other way
♪
Ain't you seen it? Seen it before?
There's a tiger at play, somebody's got to pay
It's your turn
Come on
Ah, come on
Said, come on
Look, look, look
Look, look, look
Look, look, look
Now look here (look the other way)
Just take a look
