I've never known paradise
I was born and raised in the south, in the dark
My soul is pale, my heart is like a stone
My eyes have seen it all
Everywhere I look
There are people making trouble, people going mad
People runnin' round with no direction, people runnin' round with no direction
People in the water, people in the mud
People runnin' round with no direction, runnin' round with no direction
They are walking all over you
Men in suits stealing from you
It's no one's fault in this lawless town
The neighbours judge, whatever you do
The rest look the other way
Everywhere I look
There are people making trouble, people going mad
People runnin' round with no direction, people runnin' round with no direction
People in the water, people in the mud
People runnin' round with no direction
Runnin' round with no direction, they are walking all over you
Everywhere I look
There are people making trouble, people going mad
People runnin' round with no direction
People runnin' round with no direction
People in the water, people in the mud
People runnin' round with no direction
Runnin' round with no direction, they are walking all over you
Uh, uh, uh, uh
