Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Day by day, night after night
Blinded by the neon lights
Hurry here, hustlin' there
No one's got the time to spare
[Verse 2]
Money's tight, nothing free
Won't somebody come and rescue me?
I am stranded, caught in the crossfire
Stranded, caught in the crossfire
[Verse 3]
Tooth for tooth, eye for an eye
Sell your soul just to buy-buy-buy
Beggin' for a dollar, stealin' a dime
Come on, can't you see that I
I am stranded, caught in the crossfire
I am stranded, caught in the crossfire
[Verse 4]
I need some kind of kindness
Some kind of sympathy, oh no
We're stranded, caught in the crossfire
[Verse 5]
Save the strong, lose the weak
Never turnin' the other cheek
Trust nobody, don't be no fool
Whatever happened to the golden rule?
[Verse 6]
We got stranded, caught in the crossfire
We got stranded, caught in the crossfire
We got stranded, caught in the crossfire
Stranded, caught in the crossfire
Help me
