- Chinatown Lyrics / with translationsLiving and dying in Chinatown
Yes they're living and dying down in old Chinatown
In Chinatown, you better look around
Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in Chinatown
Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in Chinatown
Laughing and crying you know it's a fact
They're not laughing, they are crying 'cause they won't be back
Oh no you don't come back, not from Chinatown
Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in Chinatown
Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in Chinatown
Chinatown, it's a different scene
There are people there, well they are so obscene
If you see what I mean then they've sold you the dream
Down in Chinatown what goes up it must come down
Living and dying, there is no release
Living and dying, there is no relief
There is no beliefs not in Chinatown
Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in Chinatown
Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in Chinatown
Yes they're living and dying down in old Chinatown
In Chinatown, you better look around
Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in Chinatown
Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in Chinatown
Laughing and crying you know it's a fact
They're not laughing, they are crying 'cause they won't be back
Oh no you don't come back, not from Chinatown
Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in Chinatown
Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in Chinatown
There are people there, well they are so obscene
If you see what I mean then they've sold you the dream
Down in Chinatown what goes up it must come down
Living and dying, there is no release
Living and dying, there is no relief
There is no beliefs not in Chinatown
Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in Chinatown
Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in Chinatown
