Lyrics

I got some hard times, two punks upon a subway
It's a long way to go to get to leicester square
A hard line - it's the one you gotta cross
The one you gotta cross, to get you anywhere

Michael's on his way to payback syndication
Of fisticuffs retired and his backstreet education
The 8-ball stops him low
Then the enemy's faces show
It's crystal clear, it ain't so clear
For folks who become broken in here

Chorus
I got none
I got no mind for... nothing
I got no insight, I got no feelings
I got nothing that you want, so stay away from here

The cocaines out, then his world goes down, the prime objective is fear
To rival forces from different times and places nowhere near
The tension begins to grow
His instincts tell him so
He jumps I jump I watch a punk and its another splatter ohh yeah

Chorus

I got some hard times, two punks upon a subway
It's a long way to go to get to leicester square
A hard line - it's the one you gotta cross
The one you gotta cross, to get you anywhere

Mike gets whipped, his bull-face slapped around a cheap cigar
His gang comes in cause they're always seeing the trouble from afar
He acts so apropos
Allusions at his door
He makes his point then jumps the joint
To the backseat with that mulatto girl yea

Chorus

I got some hard times, two punks upon a subway
It's a long way to go to get to leicester square
A hard line - it's the one you gotta cross
The one you gotta cross, to get you anywhere

Chorus
