This World

Richard's on the street with all the lonely people
 Trying to get a job and getting nowhere
 So now this is what he got
 A new kind of dedication
 He doesen't feel lost
 He walks into the station
 And Richard takes a train to go uptown
 You know he's gonna find a place
 Where the money just walks around
 And with the grace of a wildcat
 He steals a bag without detection
 Walks on tiptoes right back
 To make the right connection
 And when he leaves this world
 Well then he won't feel alone
 Now the fighting has all gone
 No more just trying to hold on
 To the dreams of this world
 Where he never quite belonged
 Belinda meets a friend at a pub called 'The Gun'
 It's full of lots of lonely people
 All out trying to have some fun
 She says, "I'll be right back"
 Although you know it's only ten to one
 Her eyes are just like a wild cat
 And where's the summer gone
 She's been working on the ships for easy money
 It's a bigger kind of tip and that may be because
 You run a bigger kind of risk
 She's got the dedication written in a kiss
 In the promise of intoxicated bliss
 She's misunderstood for all the lonely people
 Living in the world and getting nowhere
 Something always just goes wrong
 Why should they try to hold on
 To the dreams of this world
 Where they never quite belonged
 Gina says she's gonna stop
 Settle down, you know, give it all up
 But it's so hard to give it up
 When all your friends say they just can't
 Stop
 They beat up a girl on the Ford Estate with a baseball bat
 Last night the vigilante city fathers tried to get their
 Daughters back
 They didn't understand
 A different kind of smack was needed
 Than the back of the hand
 Yeah, something else was always needed
 This is for all the misunderstood lonely people
 Living in the world and getting nowhere
 Something always just goes wrong
 Why should they try to hold on
 To the dreams of this world
 Where they never quite belonged?
