Wrong Side of Town
VERSE 1
When the sun shines on the wrong side of town
The heroes ride their horses in the rain
The horses have no quarrels
Towards villains with no morals
Yet they quiver at the heroes spurs jingling sound
VERSE 2
When the sun shines on the wrong side of town
The worms sing softly to the birds
And the women with their bruises
Polish the weapon he uses
Cause dirt and grime will spread the disease around
VERSE 3
When the sun shines on the wrong side of town
My enemies are praised for their crimes
And the judges and the priests
Fall down on their knees
While I lay in my blood on the ground
VERSE 4
When the sun shines on the wrong side of town
I wake up with the light in my face
And I look across to the dark
And see children sleeping in the park
I smile while I pull the shade down
