I come into the city with nothing Hoping that one day the front doors of fortune would open And I'd taste of things I never tasted before I come into this city with nothing but yearning But slowly the fires within me stopped burning When I found out things I should have found our before It's a hard world where no-one knows you And no-one bothers to look your way Unless they want something Unless they need something Unless they see a laugh or two It's a hard world where no-one wants you And no-one gives you the time of day So you can run around and chase your dreams But you will never find a friend that way I see people like me with nothing Fighting their way through the jungle of bright neon lighting Searching for something they're never likely to find I see people like me alone and forsaken Who thought the good things were there for the taking But found the good things had gone and left them behind
