Lyrics:

There was a lot of rocking going on that night Cruising time for the young, bright lights Just down past the gasworks, by the meat factory door The five lamp boys were coming on strong The Saturday night city beat had already started and the The pulse of the corner boys just sprang into action And young Billy watched it under the yellow street light And said tonight of all nights there's gonna be a fight Billy don't like it living here in this town He says traps have been sprung long before he was born He says hope bites the dust behind all the closed doors And pus and grime ooze from its scab-crusted sores There's screaming and crying in the high-rise blocks It's a rat trap, Billy, but you're already caught And you can make it if you want to or you need it bad enough You're young and good-looking and you're acting kind of tough Anyway it's Saturday night, time to see what's going down Put on a bright suit, Billy, head for the right side of town It's only eight o'clock, but you're already bored You don't know what it is, but there's got to be more You'd better find a way out, hey, kick down that door It's a rat trap, and you've been caught In this town Billy says everybody's trying to tell you what to do In this town Billy says everybody says you gotta follow rules You walk up to the traffic lights You switch from your left to your right You push in that button, and that button comes alight And it's Walk, don't walk, walk, don't walk Talk, don't talk, talk, don't talk Walk, don't walk, walk, don't walk Talk, don't talk, talk, don't talk Hey, Billy, take a walk, take a walk, take a walk Billy, take a walk, take a walk, take a walk-acap
