Well it's a mixed up picture It's a shook up world Full of fallen angels Angry young men and frightened little girls Yeah and the clock is ticking And the danger lurks And the times have changed Life's gotten cheaper and love usually hurts
Come on baby Don't give in Think about some place down the road Don't think about where we've been
Don't look back Don't turn around Don't look back Come on baby let's blow this town Don't look back Don't turn to stone Don't look back We're pulling out of the dead zone
Now if I was a banker Or if I was a king Or if I was a genius Maybe I could fix this thing Yeah if you grow up fighting If you grow up strong You can have the future Problem is the future's gone
The times got tough And the night's so dark But way off in the distance I swear I can see a spark
Don't look back Don't turn around Don't look back Come on baby let's blow this town Don't look back Don't turn to stone Don't look back We're pulling out of the dead zone
And there's a light on the horizon I'm a burning wheel Come on baby They don't take prisoners And they don't make deals
