Second Chance CityJohnny G. got his papers today He said he was expecting the call He got the word at six from T.K. But the writing has been on the wall Management has itself a new plan Take a package or they'll lay you off They've got no love for the working man And the union's really getting soft Chorus: The verses keep changing But the song remains the same It's not what you do, it's who you know And how you play the game Take me where the ground is flat And the girls are all pretty Mister can you take me To Second Chance City Ever since the con man got the shift Things around here have been pretty rough He rides the backs of the working stiffs Playing the numbers from dawn to dusk T.K. tried to do what he could do But the suits all hide behind closed door They're too busy trying to cut costs To notice all the blood on the floor Chorus: The verses keep changing But the song remains the same It's not what you do, it's who you know And how you play the game Take me where the ground is flat And the girls are all pretty Mister can you take me To Second Chance City Bridge: I've got twenty dollars for the fare Take me where you will, I don't care I just want to feel like I'm going somewhere Someplace other than here I just want to disappear... Because Chorus: The verses keep changing But the song remains the same It's not what you do, it's who you know And how you play the game Take me where the ground is flat And the girls are all pretty Mister can you take me To Second Chance City It's down to me, G-man and the Stain And all three of us feel like marked men We need these jobs too bad to complain So each day we punch the clock again Sometimes I think about walking out But nothing's as simple as it seems I've got a family to think about I need that check more than I need dreams Chorus: The verses keep changing But the song remains the same It's not what you do, it's who you know And how you play the game Take me where the ground is flat And the girls are all pretty Mister can you take me To Second Chance City Mister can you take me To Second Chance City Mister can you take me To Second Chance City Copyright Kent Newsome and Ronnie Jeffrey All Rights Reserved |
