Gutters of Gold

The rain falls east

The rain falls west

It makes no difference

To the rain

It soaks the streets

Of our unrest

There is no shelter

From the pain

Who's gonna tally

Up the cost

How many innocent

Lives are lost

In the crossfire

Of the battles being waged

Don't be afraid

To take the heat

Tonight we're taking back

The street

London is

Burning with a fire

In the hold

Who'll control

These gutters of gold

Gutters of gold

What price survival

Tally up the latest toll

Blood will flow

In gutters of gold

You see the hate

In letters tall

Scrawled on the caves

Where cowards hide

Another tribe

On a cinder wall

How high upon the totem

Must you ride

Who's gonna rule this

Sacred ground

Who's gonna stop this

Clash of power

What's gonna make this

Frightened city stand as one

Don't be afraid

To take the heat

Tonight we're taking back

The street

Paris is

Burning with a fire

In the hold

Who will control

These gutters of gold

Gutters of gold

What price survival

Tally up the latest toll

Blood will flow

Heads will roll

These are the streets

of my childhood

Paved with my dreams

Of my youth

Most of its buildings

Are scorched out shells

Just like our hopes

Just like the truth

Chicago is

Burning with a fire

In the hold

Who'll control

These gutters of gold

Gutters of gold

What price survival

Tally up the latest toll

Who'll control

These gutters of gold

Gutters of gold

New York is burning

Belfast is burning

Moscow is burning

Gutters of gold

Gutters of gold

Miami's burning

Detroit is burning

L.A. is burning

Gutters of gold

Gutters of gold

These gutters of gold

These gutters of gold

These gutters of gold...
