Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Out on the street for a living
Picture's only begun
Got you under their thumb
Hit it!
[Verse 2]
Out on the streets for a living
Picture's only begun
Your day is sorrow and madness
Got you under their thumb
[Verse 3]
Black diamond
Black diamond
[Verse 4]
Darkness will fall on the city
It seems to follow you too
And though you don't ask for pity
There's nothing that you can do, no, no
[Verse 5]
Black diamond
Black diamond
[Verse 6]
Out on the streets for a living
Picture's only begun
Your day is sorrow and madness
Got you under their thumb
[Verse 7]
Black diamond, yeah
Black diamond
