Day by day, night after night
Blinded by the neon lights
Hurry here, hustlin' there
No one's got the time to spare

Money's tight, nothin' free
Won't somebody come and rescue me
I am stranded, caught in the crossfire
Stranded, caught in the crossfire

Tooth for tooth, eye for an eye
Sell your soul just to buy, buy, buy
Beggin' a dollar, stealin' a dime
Come on, can't you see that

I, I am stranded, caught in the crossfire
Stranded, caught in the crossfire
I need some kind of kindness
Some kind of sympathy now, no
Stranded, caught in the crossfire

Save the strong, lose the weak
Never turning the other cheek
Trust nobody, don't be no fool
Whatever happened to that golden rule

We got stranded, caught in the crossfire
We got stranded, caught in the crossfire
Stranded, caught in the crossfire
Stranded, caught in the crossfire, help me
