No Retreat

It was an issue of too much heat Fan broke and the radiator cracked And now the monkey on his back Is driving this machine Ain't it sweet When the salt from the water in your tears Run down your cheeks, admission is free If you ain't got a dime or a nickle, you still got me You can fight the current, but there ain't no retreat You were rocking out to a dream Fighting back against the evil forces You were wondering the streets But there's no relief The ghost of an orphan child But there's no redemption in the streets Put the cart before the horse Now the horse has gone wild If you ain't got a dime or a nickle, you still got me You can fight the current, but there ain't no retreat Thieves come at me from my blind spot The next thing I knew there was a gun at my side You're holding the conversation hostage Afraid of yourself as you run through the night If you ain't got a dime or a nickle, you still got me You can fight the current, but there ain't no retreat If you ain't got a dime or a nickle, you still got me You can fight the current, but there ain't no retreat
