Why would you throw your life away

Didn’t the sun come out today

I know you’re living hard, so close to the knife

You say it’s misery just to be alive

Oh no, torture, torture

Don’t need no torture, torture

Outside those city streets are tough

Some people just can’t get enough

But I ain’t one of them, the way I live my life

I’m living right, and I’m loving every night

That’s right, torture, torture

Don’t need no torture, torture

This trial by fire

It’s all in your mind

How could you be so blind?

Why would you throw your life away

Didn’t the sun come up today

I know you’re living hard, so close to the knife

You say it’s misery just to be alive

Just don’t call it torture, torture

Don’t need no torture, torture

That’s right, coming on strong!
