D.R.I.: "Down To The Wire" Lyrics

WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO THE WIRE

NO ONE WILL HELP, EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF

WHEN IT COMES DOWN T THE WIRE

YOU HAVE TO DO WHAT YOU CAN FOR YOURSELF

THERE'S A CONTRACT OUT ON ME

NOW THERE'S NO SAFE PLACE TO BE

I'M ON THE RUN ALL DAY AND NIGHT

LAYING LOW, STAYING OUT OF SIGHT

I'M NOT SURE IF I CAN TAKE IT

I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN MAKE IT

ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD

CAN'T BUY A TRUE FRIEND

WHEN IT COMES DOWN,

DOWN TO THE WIRE!

WHEN IT COMES DOWN,

DOWN TO THE WIRE!

I'M SO TIRED, BUT I DON'T DARE GO TO SLEEP

HOW DID I GET IN SO DEEP?

I LEARNED SOMETHING

THAT I'D RATHER NOT KNOW

MAYBE I COULD MAKE IT DOWN TO MEXICO

I KNOW WAY MORE THAN I'D LIKE TO ADMIT

AND THEY KNOW I KNOW, THAT'S WHY THE HIT

IT'S THE NOT KNOWING WHEN THAT I REALLY DREAD

THEY'LL BE AFTER ME UNTIL I'M DEAD

WHEN IT COMES

DOWN TO THE WIRE

NO ONE WILL HELP,

EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF

WHEN IT COMES

DOWN T THE WIRE YOU

HAVE TO DO WHAT YOU

CAN FOR YOURSELF

CAN'T GO TO WORK, I CAN'T GO HOME

GOTTA FACE IT, I'M ALONE

HIDING BEHIND EVERY BUSH AND TREE

MAY BE SOMEONE WAITING FOR ME

IT COULD BE SOMEONE THAT I KNOW

CAN'T THINK OF A WORSE WAY TO GO

COULD EVEN BE A GOOD FRIEND THEY HIRE

WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO THE WIRE

WHEN IT COMES DOWN,

DOWN TO THE WIRE!

WHEN IT COMES DOWN,

DOWN TO THE WIRE!
