VERSE2: same as first
the cops are out to shut the district down
i comb the ruins of your stomping grounds
stanton street looking like that third world war
you come up blazing like an open sore
now, i believe you, but i got to know
how come the right side of your brain is hurting
so take me with you baby when you go
through to the white side of your china curtain
CHORUS repeat, then play riff1 twice.

...then to the intro riff a couple times...
in the good old bad part of this college town
gray men in limousines, they drive you down
you take their money just like you take mine
what does it do you on that thin blue line
now i can hardly hear you anymore
your eyes are empty and your voice is hollow
i see you waving from a distant shore
and where youre going i dont dare to follow
CHORUS:
C#5(ix) F#5 B5(ii) Bmaj7 B5(ii)
no foolin, its a fucked-up world
