from dust and ruble

born in the backstreets

in the rotten part of town

far away from the city lights

they're pushing you around 'n round

fast women

fast money

keep on seducing you

small mugs

big sharks

are pushing and controlling you

and when it seems as if

the world comes tumbling down

and you are wondering

why you're still around

born in dust and ruble

fight to be free forevermore

burn down the bridges

and leave it all behind

leave tonight for tomorrow

death and violence rule the streets

obey or die - you're under the gun

oppression - submission

the cycle's going on and on

this ain't your destiny

so spread your wings and fly

keep the faith and don't look back

lift your spirit high

born in dust and ruble

fight to be free forevermore

burn down the bridges

and leave it all behind

leave tonight for tomorrow

and when it seems again

the world comes tumbling down

don't be afraid

my friend

cause you won't be around

born in dust and ruble

fight to be free forevermore

burn down the bridges

and leave it all behind

leave tonight for tomorrow

born in dust and ruble

fight to be free forevermore

burn down the bridges

and leave it all behind

leave tonight for tomorrow
