Pretty people, pretty cars, livin' in the lap of luxury
But this precious fantasy seems so close when it's so far from me, yeah, yeah

Tell me where to get in line
Show me how to change my luck this time

People turn their backs on you, on the streets in paradise
When you're not the chosen few, it's hot as hell and cold as ice
Every day's another fight, livin' on the streets in paradise

All that glitters isn't gold, promises and dreams can get so old
I know what this game's about, people chew you up and spit you out

I need some kind of a sign, can't seem to get into this dream of mine

People turn their backs on you, on the streets in paradise
When you're not the chosen few, it's hot as hell and cold as ice
Every day's another fight, livin' on the streets in paradise

There aint no sacrifice that I won't make, I'll pay the price
Oh no, I won't think twice, nothing comes cheap in paradise

Tell me where to get in line
I can't seem to get into this dream of mine

People turn their backs on you, on the streets in paradise
When you're not the chosen few, it's hot as hell and cold as ice
Every day's another fight, livin' on the streets in paradise

People turn their backs on you, on the streets in paradise
When you're not the chosen few, it's hot as hell and cold as ice
Every day's another fight, livin' on the streets in paradise
