pop song 1994

Down the streets of ecstasy
I'll take my chances endlessly
And there's no need for me to run
With my fingers wrapped around a gun

reality what can it be
BUt a misery you set for me
there's no sense in wanting more cuz
this is what I have been put here for

Look around What do I see?
there aint nuthin here for me
Look around what do I see
There aint nuthin more for me

You preachers of morality
how would you do to live like me
heaven's just a novelty
another thing they denied to me

so down the streets of ecstasy
I'll make my way most carelessly
and you can judge it tragedy,
but I wont surrender that easily

Look around What do I see?
there aint nuthin here for me
Look around what do I see
There aint nuthin more for me

So down the streets of ecstasy
I take my chances endlessly
and theres no need for me to run
with my fingers wrapped around a gun
