It’s a cold world, but the lights work
\nand the trains don’t run on time.
\nAnd there’s no hope but a taut rope
\nfor a man not in his prime.
\nFour of ten men on a dark street
\nare just waiting on a crime.
\nSome will kill you for a quarter,
\nsome’ll love you for a dime.
\nAnd I say charge it all to Jesus.
\nPut it on the master’s card.
\nHe said to live a life of love,
\nbut it’s just too damned hard.
\nOur visions of a world above
\nare cracked and bent and scarred.
\nSo play your hand, dispatch, disband,
\ndispel and then discard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
