Grab the boys and saddle up, 'cause
We're goin' downtown
Good time for livin' it up
No time for layin' around
Stop in, take a peak at the toys
Sink a drink or two
Need the sex and feel the noise
My potion for shakin' the blues
Prince of the city, hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
I know the game
Watch me run, the game
Listen up
The rules are very simple
Keep up, stay alive
The street controls the tempo
Sink, swim, the strong survive
Got no sympathy
I never get lonely
Not the original
But I am the one and only
This ain't no time for takin' it easy
Don't you know, I'm on the loose tonight
I said shake it up
Prince of the city, hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
I run the game
Prince of the city, fortune and fame
Just take what you got comin' around
It's all the same, oh
Oh, help me, help me, can you please
I beg forgiveness for my sins
In the street and on my knees
I can't get out, don't come in
♪
Car fumes and concrete, neon shining bright
Steam rises in the heat of a dead end city night
Things seem they're movin' slow
Those good old days are through
I hear it on the police radio
Lawman comin' for me and you
♪
Prince of the city, hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
I run the game
Prince of the city, fortune and fame
Just take what you got comin' around
It's all the same
Prince of the city (prince of the city)
Hallowed be thy name
Prince of the city (prince of the city)
I run the game
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
