[Verse 1]
Dealers keep dealin'
Thieves keep thievin'
Whores keep whorin'
Junkies keep scorin'
Trade is on the meat rack
Strip joints full of hunchbacks
Bitches keep bitchin'
Clap just keeps itchin'
[Pre-Chorus]
Ain't no use in prayin'
That's the way it's stayin', baby
You know, Johnny ain't so crazy
He's always got a line for the ladies
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
Get your rocks off
Get your rocks off, honey
Shake it now
Get 'em off downtown
Get your rocks off
Get you rocks off, honey
Shake it now
Get 'em off downtown, downtown
[Verse 2]
Creeps keep crawlin'
Drunks keep on fallin'
Teasers keep teasein'
Holy Joes preachin'
Cops keep on bustin'
Hustlers keep on hustlin'
Death keeps on knockin'
Souls are up for auction
[Pre-Chorus]
Ain't no use in prayin'
That's the way it's stayin', baby
You know, Johnny ain't so crazy
He's always got a line for the ladies
(Aw yeah)
