alley of the angels

Singer:john mellencamp

another sad sad day

the world's ko'd again

and i used to always say

no one could hit

like my old man

do you really have to be so tough

is it necessary to talk so rough

hey ain't there some place i could fit in

could i find a little action there

hey wait just a minute

i don't really care

any place is bound to be better

than where i'm standin'

yeah i wish that for just one day

hey ya know i wouldn't have to be afraid

and ashamed of its work

and its disgusting glory

welcome to the alley of the angels

hey they say your eyes can gleam

when you can a just tell the truth all night

welcome to the alley of the angels

the reckless young hearts

beat to the neon lights

look at those kids

they're such a mess

just can't teach 'em no respect

they want the world

and they want the best on a silver platter

hey but ain't that

sometime son

the kids grew up and the world moved on

they're just lookin' for some place in the sun

so they would not shatter

do you really have to be so tough

is it necessary to talk so rough

hey ain't there some place i could fit in

welcome to the alley of the angles
