The morning paper said The man was shot in the night The television news And radio went so crazy But I could not understand at all 'Cause the man they shot used to be called Just a bum, a good for nothing man of town And then they buried him With all the pomp of a knight Just like a movie When the bad guy turns so right So I laughed it off, and turned the page; And everyone was in a rage That was long ago; It's much the same right now It's just a matter of time before it changes No matter where, you can find it in the pages The blind are leading the blind; Have been for ages It's like an underground fire that always blazes Boys, boys, boys in the city Boys, boys, boys in the city In the past they had their swords and horses And today, it's guns and cars and power Don't you gamble with their luck and forces If you mess with the underground “boys" They won't leave you alone I knew a man who needed cash He took out a loan He couldn't pay it back They took his car and his home In Japan and in America In Brazil, France, England, Africa; There's a fire of greed that burns out the good in man It's just a matter of time before it changes No matter where, you can find it in the pages The blind are leading the blind; Have been for ages It's like an underground fire that always blazes Boys, boys, boys in the city Boys, boys, boys in the city In the past they had their swords and horses And today, it's guns and cars and power Don't you gamble with their luck and forces If you mess with the underground “boys" They won't leave you alone Boys, boys, boys in the city It's just a matter of time before it changes No matter where, you can find it in the pages The blind are leading the blind; Have been for ages It's like an underground fire that always blazes Boys, boys, boys in the city Boys, boys, boys in the city Boys, boys, boys in the city Boys, boys, boys in the city Boys, boys, boys in the city
