lyrics

Furniture rains into the cobblestone street
Old ladies stand in their doorways and cross themselves
Churchbell rings
Schoolgirl sings:
"Good deeds and god's mercy will wash away my sins."
Stop your cryin'. This world it ain't fair.
Stop your cryin'. You know this world it ain't fair.

Whatcha doin' in that gutter son?
Tryin' to break your fall?
You can't get much lower now.
Doin' that cockroach crawl.
Doin' that cockroach crawl.

Streetcars shriek on their steal tracks
Black smoke drifts from the chimney stacks.
There's rules been made
There's lines been crossed
And so I'm here to discourage other folks gettin' lost.
Stop your cryin' This world it ain't fair
Stop your cryin'. You know this world it ain't fair.

Why are ya crawlin' in that gutter son?
It can't help you now.
Things've been set in motion.
Can't turn that clock back now
Can't turn that clock back now

It's just my job.
I don't think about it much.
Just do my work collect my pay.
Don't rightly know who's behind it all.
Who decides who lives and who pays.

Just try and think 'bout your favourite place.
You know I don't really like this city's cruel pace.
If it were up to me I'd be someplace quiet.
Nothin but the birds, my feet up by a fire.
Stop your cryin' This world it ain't fair.
Stop your cryin' You know this world it ain't fair.

Whatcha doin' in that gutter son?
Tryin to break your fall?
(Well) you can't get much lower now.
Doin' that cockroach crawl.
Doin' that cockroach crawl.
Better comb ya hair son.
Smoke that last cigarette
Make your peace with your god now.
Ain't got much time left.
Ain't got much time left.
Your sufferin' soon will end.
