What's Going On In The Alleyway?

What’s going on in the alleyway?
What’s going on in the alleyway?
What’s going on in the alleyway?
Don’t ask! Don’t ask!

It’s a surefire way to beat the heat
At night we can do it in the street
The rich like to watch, they don’t want us to stop
Catch an evening show and tip the cops

-Chorus-

You dreamt it as a boy and now it’s real
They beat you down until you couldn’t feel
You’re young, you’ll do well and we’re already in Hell
Ignore the voices and stay put until it sells

-Chorus-

We’ll give you more than you could ever steal
We’ll grind you like a butt beneath our heel
The nights here are long and you have to be strong
Survival’s all that matters, right or wrong

-Chorus-

What’s going on in the alleyway?
You can watch if you like, but you have to pay!
What’s going on in the alleyway?
Don’t ask! Don’t ask!
