There's a man on the street with a gun in his hand
His backs against the wall
He's got kids to feed
He doesn't know if he'll be able to steal at all
Tomorrow he'll be front page news
You'll see it on TV
How a father of five was killed last night
Attempted robbery

Anything goes
When everything's gone
When you lose all hope
there ain't no right or wrong
You can reach out
But you can't hold on
Anything goes
When everything's gone

There's a lady I know who sells herself
at the paradise cafe
As a girl they called her Angel
But Angel drifted away
Somewhere in time
she crossed the line
Where feelings are all gone
And for a prosocial warm a stranger's bed
With a heart that's cold as stone

She cries anything goes
When everything's gone
When you lose all hope
There ain't no right or wrong
You can reach out
But you can't hold on
Anything goes
When everything's gone

There's a world outside that seldom sleeps
Unknown to us all
They've got guns
And we've got guns
So who will be the first to draw
up on high the powers lie
tThe numbers are so small
And with one mistake all the dams will break
And then God help us all

Anything goes
When everything's gone
When you lose all hope
There ain't no right or wrong
You can reach out
But you can't hold on
Anything goes
When everything's gone

Anything goes
When everything's gone
When you lose all hope
There ain't no right or wrong
You can reach out
But you can't hold on
Anything goes
When everything's gone

Oh, you can reach out
But you can't hold on
Anything goes
When everything's gone"
