One man in the east One man from the west One man in the middle One man under house arrest (Step back)
Get hooked on the power Gotta stay in the game be the man of the hour Gotta make a name for yourself
And the lady waits, so patiently She waits for the call She knows just what you need
You need inside, information Information at a very high price She gives you inside, information That can change your whole life overnight, In a minute
One man to the left One man to the right One man in the middle Caught in the broad daylight
Just a man on the street Another face in the crowd One man on the beat Wants everything that he's not allowed
And the lady waits, so patiently She waits for the call She knows just what you need
You need inside, information She can get it at a very high price A little, inside, information It can change your whole life overnight
With a little inside, information You get money, you get power, you get it all Yeah but that inside, information Can leave you waiting for that hammer to fall (Let it fall)
She gets that inside, information Information at a very high price With that inside, information It's danger with each roll of the dice
You want that inside, information Take the money, take the power, take it all Take that inside, information But get ready 'cause the hammer will fall It's gonna fall
Inside, information Inside, information
Is she telling you straight Is she telling you straight Is she telling you straight
