There's a man on the corner with somebody's daughter and her closest friend When she's come here to score she's been here before she's got the right change She's no more than fourteen, She's got a life to lead, A lamb there to the slaughter, For the time and the place that she lives Saw a man on the corner go back to that door where he makes the change He's been ten feet tall since he left school and made the grade, And his friends are five years older But he's too blind to see He's a lamb being led to the slaughter By the time and the place that he lives And it looks the same to me This whole wide world over Millions on their knees But none we're looking over Run to the door, demanding water, feeling grim Man on the corner, while he's up to the fall and the law comes in Sitting up in his fortress It's due to hounding him SongtexteBy the money I've exploited The time and the place that he's in Well she comes back back for more, she's caught by the law, and she starts to sing, As the man on the corner, you want her for questioning, The man up in his fortress What's happening below him He knows the law won't touch her He's the time and the place that he's in The man up in his fortress What's happening below him He knows the law won't touch her He's the time and the place that he's in, Aus Songtexte Mania
