[Intro] Its the story of a steel claw [Verse 1] Its just a television wonderland Just one more Fairy tale about some rich bitch Lying by the swimming pool Life is so cruel Easy living when you make the rules Last Friday was the first time It took only about half a minute On the stairway It was childs play The odds turn out even When you give up believing in the [Chorus] Cold law, steel claw Try to get on board you find the lock is on the door Well I say no way, no way! Dont try to get out or therell be hell to pay I dont know whos right, whos wrong But it really doesnt matter when youre lying in the gutter Its a seesaw A long hot battle with the cold law Is what you get for messing with the steel claw [Verse 2] The politicians have forgotten this place Except for flying visits in a black Mercedes At election time They cross the line And everybody runs to watch the pantomime If they could see whats going on around here So many people hanging on the edge Crying out for revolution Retribution The odds turn out even When you give up believing in the [Chorus] Cold law, steel claw Try to get on board you find the lock is on the door Well I say no way, no way! Dont try to get out or therell be hell to pay I dont know whos right, whos wrong But it really doesnt matter when youre lying in the gutter Its a seesaw A long hot battle with the cold law Is what you get for messing with the steel claw [Bridge] Sometimes I think Im going crazy Sometimes I do a line, makes me laugh Makes me want to take a joyride On the high tide Sometimes Im contemplating suicide Meanwhile Eddys on the West Coast now Hes making out with some sweet seorita Up in Frisco, you and I know The odds turn out even When you give up believing in the [Chorus] Cold law, steel claw Try to get on board you find the lock is on the door Well I say no way, no way! Dont try to get out or therell be hell to pay I dont know whos right, whos wrong But it really doesnt matter when youre lying in the gutter Its a seesaw A long hot battle with the cold law Is what you get for messing with the steel claw Its cold law, steel claw Try to get on board you find the lock is on the door Well I say no way, no way! Cold law When you give up believing in the cold law, steel claw
