Little tramp comin’ up the strip with a hundred dollar smile
Sparks flyin’ off her fingertips, drive the young cop wild
Some nights are wound so tight like a storm about to break
Better stand in your doorway when everything starts to shake
You get restless like a cat waking up at midnight,
Hungry, never quite satisfied
This is our world and these are our times
This is our world and these are our times
Little brother like a street god with a drop dead attitude
Say he’s looking like a shadow now, runnin’ low on green and food
Some lives are wound up tight like a wave about to crash
Hard times seem to multiply while the joy runs out so fast
You get restless like a kid crawling out of a bad dream
Hungry, never quite satisfied
This is our world, and these are our times
This is our world, and these are our times
This is our world, and these are our times
This is our world, and these are our times
Make way for the son of a rebel wired to a bottle of flame
He’s got two black eyes and a
Purple heart and a bone hangin’ on a chain
These times are like dynamite, a head on history
Some fool’s bound to burn it all down, don’t care about you and me
He’ll get desperate like a child in the eye of a nightmare
Hungry, never quite satisfied
This is our world, and these are our times
This is our world, and these are our times
This is our world, and these are our times
This is our world, and these are our times

AUDIENCE APPRECIATION PARTIES:
On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won’t understand
Don’t accept that what’s happening
Is just a case of others’ suffering
Or you’ll find that you’re joining in
The turning away
It’s a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting its shroud
Over all we have known
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we’re all alone
In the dream of the proud
On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite in a silent accord
Using words, you will find, are strange
Mesmerised as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night
No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It’s not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there’ll be
No more turning away?

When my love said to me
Meet me down by the gallow tree
For it’s sad news I bring
About this old town and all that it’s offering
Some say troubles abound
Some day soon they’re gonna pull the old town down
One day we’ll return here
When the Belfast Child sings again
Brothers, sisters, where are you now?
As I look for you right through the crowd
All my life here I’ve spent
With my faith in God the Church and the Government
But there’s sadness abound
Some day soon they’re gonna pull the old town down
One day we’ll return here
When the Belfast Child sings again
When the Belfast Child sings again
So come back Billy, won’t you come on home?
Come back Mary, you’ve been away so long
The streets are empty, and your mother’s gone
The girls are crying, it’s been oh so long
And your father’s calling, come on home
Won’t you come on home, won’t you come on home?

Left in the darkness
Here on your own
Woke up a memory
Feeding the pain
You cannot deny it
There’s nothing to say
It’s all that you need to fire away
Oh damn, the war is coming
Oh damn, you feel you want it
Oh damn, just bring it on today
You can’t live without the fire
It’s the heat that makes you strong
‘Cause you’re born to live and fight it all the way
You can’t hide what lies inside you
It’s the only thing you know
You’ll embrace it and never walk away
Don’t walk away
Don’t walk away
Don’t walk away
Don’t walk away
Raised in this madness
You’re on your own
It made you fearless
Nothing to lose
Dreams are a drug here
They get in your way
That’s what you need to fight day by day
Oh damn, the war is coming
Oh damn, you feel you want it
Oh damn, just bring it on today
You can’t live without the fire
It’s the heat that makes you strong
‘Cause you’re born to live and fight it all the way
You can’t hide what lies inside you
It’s the only thing you know
You’ll embrace it and never walk away
Don’t walk away!
(You need not fear us
Unless you have a dark heart
A vile one who preys on the innocent
I promise
You can’t hide forever in the empty darkness
For we will hunt you down like the animals you are
And pull you into the very bowels of hell)
Oh damn, the war is coming
Oh damn, you feel you want it
Oh damn, just bring it on today
You can’t live without the fire
It’s the heat that makes you strong
‘Cause you’re born to live and fight it all the way
You can’t hide what lies inside you
It’s the only thing you know
You’ll embrace it and never walk away
Don’t walk away
Don’t walk away
Don’t walk away
Don’t walk away
