%22BOYS%22 IN THE CITY
KUWATA BAND Lyrics

The morning paper said
The man was shot in the night
The television news
And radio went so crazy
But I could not understand
at all
'Cause the man
they shot used to be called
Just a bum,
a good for nothing man of town And then they buried him
With all the pomp of a knight
Just like a movie
When the bad guy turns out
so right
So I laughed it off,
and turned the page:
And everyone was in a rage
That was long ago:
It's much the same right now
It's just a matter of time
before it changes
No matter where,
you can find it in the pages
The blind are leading the blind;
Have been for ages
It's like an underground fire
that always blazes
Boys, boys, boys in the city
Boys, boys, boys in the city
In the past
they had their swords and horses
And today,
it's guns and cars and power
Don't you gamble
with their luck and forces
If you mess
with the underground "boys"
They won't leave you alone

I knew a man who needed cash
He took out a loan
He couldn't pay it back
They took his car and his home
In Japan and in America
In Brazil, France,
England, Africa;
There's a fire of greed
That burns out the good in man
It's just a matter of time
before it changes
No matter where,
you can find it in the pages
The blind are leading the blind;
Have been for ages
It's like an underground fire
that always blazes
Boys, boys, boys in the city
Boys, boys, boys in the city
In the past
they had their swords and horses
And today,
it's guns and cars and power
Don't you gamble
with their luck and forces
If you mess
with the underground "boys"
They won't leave you alone

Boys, boys, boys in the city

It's just a matter of time
before it changes
No matter where,
you can find it in the pages
The blind are leading the blind;
Have been for ages
It's like an underground fire
that always blazes
Boys, boys, boys in the city
Boys, boys, boys in the city
Boys, boys, boys in the city
Boys, boys, boys in the city
Boys, boys, boys in the city
