Shalamar - Deadline USA lyrics

Concrete's burning with the beat as people go rushing by City's bustin' with the anger as everybody stands in line I don't care no more, listenin' to the lion's roar No one gets enough, it's not for me to care too much Heat is off, the ceiling is leakin' and nobody lends a hand There's more to life than bringing home the bacon and throw it in the frying pan Phone book off the wall, bill collectors down the hall Dreams have hit the floor and everybody screams more and more Chorus: I know I can make it, I know I can take it Headline: Deadline USA (Oh) Danger's on the wire, whole world's caught on fire Headline: Deadline USA Blind Ambition fills the hearts of men with an evil lie Slap you with the word and hit you with the tab and then they apologize Don't give me a line, expect me to be satisfied I don't understand how truth and lies go hand-in-hand Chorus: I know I can make it, I know I can take it Headline: Deadline USA (Oh don't you know?) Danger's on the wire, whole world's caught on fire Headline: Deadline USA (Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey~ Hoo Hoo) You can look into a gla** and cry that it's halfway gone I can drink the same champagne and be happy that it lasts so long It's all high you see, good and bad and what you need Fate cuts like a knife so might as well just live your life Chorus: I know I can make it, I know I can take it Headline: Deadline USA (Oh don't you know?) Danger's on the wire, whole world's caught on fire Headline: Deadline USA (Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey~ ) I know I can make it, I know I can take it Headline: Deadline USA
