Lyrics:

You said you came
From a train
Your dreams are wild
You're still a child

You said the streets were paved with gold
But you're the one that's bought and sold
All your friends meet nasty ends you say

Girls are working hard all day
To get a drink (trick?) or two
The boys are hustling away
As their protectors do

You said the streets were paved with gold
But you're the one that's bought and sold
All your friends meet nasty ends you say

Low life
Low life
Low life
Low life

You said you came
From a train
Your dreams are wild
You're still a child

You said the streets were paved with gold
But you're the one that's bought and sold
All your friends meet nasty ends you say

Low life
Low life
Low life
Low life

Low life (The girls are working hard all day)
Low life (to get a drink or two)
Low life (The boys are hustling away)
Low life (As their protectors do)

Low life (The girls are working hard all day)
Low life (to get a drink or two)
Low life (The boys are hustling away)
Low life (As their protectors do)

Low life (The girls are working hard all day)
Low life (to get a drink or two)
Low life (The boys are hustling away)
Low life (As their protectors do)
