Why would you throw your life away Didn't the sun come out today I know you're living hard, so close to the knife You say it's misery just to be alive Oh no, torture, torture Don't need no torture, torture Outside those city streets are tough Some people just can't get enough But I ain't one of them, the way I live my life I'm living right, and I'm loving every night That's right, torture, torture Don't need no torture, torture This trial by fire It's all in your mind How could you be so blind? Why would you throw your life away Didn't the sun come up today I know you're living hard, so close to the knife You say it's misery just to be alive Just don't call it torture, torture Don't need no torture, torture That's right, coming on strong!
