A boy shoots a gun, a girl looks for fun Runnin' round in the Hollywood streets Shakedown all around, Lay your dirty money down You can't always get what you need
Midnight's cool, right, die in the moonlight No cure for the social disease Sex fiends, Acid Queens, livin' on a bad dream This town never sleeps
Down in the city Gettin' what you need Down in the city Make your poor heart bleed
Livin' by the trigger, always better if it's bigger Won't catch me down on my knees Shake it down, lay it down, Sin City all around Hollywood's the city of sleaze Loose change, no-names, lookin' for a fast way To make it to the top ot the heap Face down, gutter bound, Laughin' at the poor clown Walkin' on his name in the street
Down in the city Give you what ya need Down in the city Make your poor heart bleed
Ha, ha, ha, ha
