Born in the backstreets
In the rotten part of town
Far away from the city lights
They're pushing you around 'n round
Fast women, fast money
Keep on seducing you
Small mugs, big sharks
Are pushing and controlling you

And when it seems as if
The world comes tumbling down
And you are wondering
Why you're still around

Born in dust and ruble
Fight to be free forevermore
Burn down the bridges
And leave it all behind
Leave tonight for tomorrow

Death and violence rule the street
Obey or die, you're under the gun
Oppression, submission
They cycle's going on an on

This ain't your destiny
So spread your wings and fly
Keep the faith and don't look back
Lift your spirit high

Born in dust and ruble
Fight to be free forevermore
Burn down the bridges
And leave it all behind
Leave tonight for tomorrow

And when it seems again
The world comes tumbling down
Don't be afraid, my friend
'Cause you won't be around

Born in dust and ruble
Fight to be free forevermore
Burn down the bridges
And leave it all behind
Leave tonight for tomorrow

Born in dust and ruble
Fight to be free forevermore
Burn down the bridges
And leave it all behind
Leave tonight for tomorrow
