the whores hustle and the hustlers whore

speak to me of universal laws

the whores hustle and the hustlers whore

all around me people bleed

speak to me your song of greed

speak to me of your inner charm

of how you'll keep me safe from harm

i don't think so

i don't see

speak to me of your inner peace

little people at the amusement park

city people in the dark

speak to us

send us a sign

tell us something to keep us trying

the whores hustle and the hustlers whore

too many people out of love

the whores hustler and the hustlers whore

this city's ripped right to the core

speak to me of heroin and speed

of genocide and suicide

of syphilis and greed

speak to me the language of love

the language of violence

the language of the heart

this isn't the first time i've asked for money or love

heaven and earth don't ever mean enough

speak to me of heroin and speed

just give me something i can believe

the whores hustle and the hustlers whore

too many people out of love

the whores hustler and the hustlers whore

this city's ripped right to the core
