Boy shoots a gun, a girl looks for fun
Runnin' wild in the Hollywood streets
Shakedown, all around, lay your dirty money down
Can't always get what you need
Midnight, cool, right, die in the moonlight
Sex fiends, acid queens, livin' on a bad dream
This town never sleeps
Down in the city
Givin' you what you need
Down in the city
Make your poor heart bleed
Livin' by the trigger, always better if it's bigger
Won't catch me down on my knees
Shake it down, lay it down, Sin City all around
Hollywood's the city of sleaze
Loose change, no name, lookin' for a fast way
To make it to the top of the heap
Face down, gutter bound, laughin' at the poor clown
Walkin' on his name in the street
Down in the city
Give you what you need
Down in the city
Make your poor heart bleed
Boy shoots a gun, a girl looks for fun
Runnin' wild in the Hollywood streets
Shakedown, all around, lay your dirty money down
You can't always get what you need
Loose change, no name, lookin' for a fast way
To make it to the top of the heap
Face down, gutter bound, laughin' at the poor clown
Walkin' on his name in the street
Down in the city
Give you what you need
Down in the city
Make your poor heart bleed
Down in the city
Give you what you need
Down in the city
It's good enough for me
You're gonna burn
