Day by day, night after night 
Blinded by the neon light 
Hurry here, hustling there 
No one's got the time to spare 
Money's tight, nothing 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 bop on by 
Beggin' for a dollar, stealin' a dime 
Come on can't you see that I'm 
Stranded, caught in the crossfire 
I am stranded, caught in the crossfire 
I need some, kind of kindness 
Some kind of sympathy, oh no 

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