Steel Claw - Live

It's just a television wonderland
Just one more fairytale about a rich bitch
Lying by the swimming pool
Life is so cruel
Easy living when you make the rules

But last Friday was the first time
It only took about a half a minute
On the stairway
It was child's play
The odds turn out even when you give up believing in the

Cold law, steel claw
Try to get on board, you find the lock is on the door
Well, I say, no way, no way!
Don't try to get out or there'll be hell to pay
I don't know who's right, who's wrong
It really doesn't matter when you're lying in the gutter
It's a see-saw
A long hot battle with the cold law
It's what you get for messing with the steel claw

The politicians have forgotten this place
Except for flying visits in a black Mercedes
On election time
Cross the line
And everybody runs to catch the pantomime

If you could see what's going on around here
So many people hanging on the edge crying out for revolution
Retribution
The odds come out even when you give up believing in the

Cold law, steel claw
Try to get on board, you find the lock is on the door
Well, I say, no way, no way!
Don't try to get out or there'll be hell to pay
I don't know who's right, who's wrong
It really doesn't matter when you're lying in the gutter
It's a see-saw
A long hot battle with the cold law
Is what you get for messing with the steel claw
(Take it home)

Sometimes I think I'm going crazy
Sometimes I, I do a line, makes me laugh
Makes me want to take a joyride
On the high tide
Sometimes I'm contemplating suicide

Meanwhile, Eddy's on the West Coast
I hear he's making out with some sweet señorita up in Frisco
You and I know
The odds come out even when you give up believing in the

Cold law, steel claw
Try to get on board, you find the lock is on the door
Well, I say, no way, no way!
Don't try to get out or there'll be hell to pay
I don't know who's right, who's wrong
It really doesn't matter when you're lying in the gutter
It's a see-saw
A long hot battle with the cold law
Is what you get for messing with the steel claw

Cold law, steel claw
No, no, no, no, no, no
Oh!

Oww!
