Why would you throw your life away
Didn't the sun come out today
I know you're living hard, so close to the knife
You say it's misery just to be alive

Oh no, torture, torture
Don't need no torture, torture

Outside those city streets are tough
Some people just can't get enough
But i ain't one of them, the way i live my life
I'm living right, and i'm loving every night

That's right, torture, torture
Don't need no torture, torture

This trial by fire
It's all in your mind
How could you be so blind?

Why would you throw your life away
Didn't the sun come up today
I know you're living hard, so close to the knife
You say it's misery just to be alive

Just don't call it torture, torture
Don't need no torture, torture

That's right, coming on strong!
