There's a man on the street with a gun in his hand And his back against the wall He's got kids to feed He doesn't know if he'll be able to steal at all Tomorrow he'll be front page news You'll see it on TV How a father of five was killed last night Attempted robbery Chorus: Anything goes When everything's gone When you lose all hope There ain't no right or wrong You can reach out But you can't hold on Anything goes When everything's gone There's a lady I know who sells herself At the Paradise Cafe As a girl they called her Angel But Angel drifted away Somewhere in time She crossed the line Where feelings are all gone For a price she'll warm a strangers bed With a heart that's cold as stone She cries Anything goes 'Cause everything's gone When you lose all hope There ain't no right or wrong You can reach out But you can't hold on Anything goes When everything's gone There's a world outside That seldom sleeps It's unknown to us all Well they got guns And we got guns Who'll be the first to draw Up on high the powers lie The numbers are so small With one mistake all the dams will break And then God help us all (chorus)
