Downtown Boys

Only one, sitting here,

Only one sheds a tear,

Only one takes the throne,

As a greaser, I stand alone.

Until dawn breaks, I live in fear,

Until dawn breaks, I must stay here

For all the things I've ever done

Are crashing down one by one.

They threatened us, we held defence,

That's what we will plead against

His wrongful soul, his cold black heart,

This crime that forced our worlds apart.

Sorrow will engulf my soul,

Tear apart a gaping hole,

The destiny he could not hold,

For his sake, I must stay gold.

In this place, we will fight,

In this place, hold what is right,

The streetlamps shed eternal light,

For Johnny's sake, we'll clash tonight.

Deep inside my mind,

I know we're all one kind

As humans we are all the same,

Yet we share a different kind of fame.

End of dawn, start of day,

But the night can't stay away,

A peaceful life became so bright,

But war will accompany the night.

Rhythm sparkles on the street,

Us greasers, we have our beat,

Outcasts, hoods, thieves and fiends,

What a life! Or so it seems.

Salvation let it come to us,

To those who drink and taunt and cuss,

Although that's what our masks imply,

We all know where our duties lie.
