who in their right mind

The men are always drugged, the old ladies are scared
They keep their money in their underwear
You can hear them say between their plates in their teeth
"The neighborhood isn't what it used to be"

I'm wakened every other night
By the lovebirds next door
He's a good-for-nothing drunk
She's a good-for-nothing whore

And the rain comes down
Like Solomon's tears
It's a city of pain
It's a city of fear
The funny thing is
People don't seem to care
Who in their right mind
Would ever live here?
Who in their right mind
Who in their right mind

A field of tires was caught up in a blaze
Smoke stayed in the sky for three days
Oh, the air was thick and it was hard to breathe
Prophets of doom were easier to believe

And the summer is a dog's breath
And the winter is brutal...
But you know whatever happens
Is business as usual

And the rain comes down
Like Solomon's tears
It's a city of pain
It's a city of fear
The funny thing is
People don't seem to care
Who in their right mind
Would ever live here?
Who in their right mind

Jet in a fur coat, poodle in her slip stream
Takin' some air, gettin' stuffy in the limousine
Past the junkies and the Vietnam vets
In the gutter of the catwalk stubbed out like cigarettes

Now tell me, who is dirty, who is clean?
'cause everybody seems like death to me

And the rain comes down
Like Solomon's tears
It's a city of pain
It's a city of fear
The funny thing is
People don't seem to care
Who in their right mind
Would ever live here?
Who in their right mind would ever live here?

Who in their right mind?
Who in their right mind?
Who in their right mind?
Who in their right mind?

Who in their right mind?
Who in their right mind?
Who in their right mind.
