Where The Action Is

Where streets start getting wild
Well you're moving on down
On the other side of the tracks
Would you cross that line baby
There ain't no turning back
Some raise and I don't ever wanna see that place
That's where the action is
Listen, hear the stories hear the lies
You hear the rooms they criticize
They call you everything under the moon
Then they try to buy you
With diamonds and rings and rings
Move over baby
Gonna help you out of this mess
By the look of your face well
You been here before I guess
You're hanging around, like some kinda parasite on past
And I just wanna tell you to come on let's go
And I know a place where never cold
And I know a place where the thing is sin
And I'm gonna tell you where the action is
Your momma's told you about whiskey and she's told you about beer
The shit they're drinkin' here, man
It don't got nothing
On that here
It turns you into a monster
It turns your mind insane
It does things to you
Where you will never come back again
I don't care what your disposition is
I don't care what's your name
I'm gonna tell you where the action is
Look at you dressed in your debutante dress
And your phoney eye-lashes
Walking around like you just
Walked out of some fucking car crash
You think that you're OK cause you're looking
Like you're gonna have a smash
With the action
I don't care where you're going
I don't care what you say
What your religion is
Baby, I just wanna tell you where the action is
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Take off that wedding ring baby
You don't need it anymore
Take off that dress girl
And throw it out the door
Take off those phoney make-up
And those eye-lashes I saw
Take off your shoes and your hat
And throw the whole fucking lot
Right out the door
Come over here and lend me your ear
I'm gonna tell you where the action is
