The Corrupt Ones - Dusty Springfield

Here in this town of dirt and greed

Playground where devils play

Here where I had the bad, bad luck to be born

Here I must stay

Here I belong

Here I will die

Caught in the web of love

I can’t escape

Won’t even try

My fate is tied with the Corrupt Ones

Especially with one guy

He came around when I was down

Opened new worlds for me

Gave him my love

And dreamed of breaking my chains of misery

But I was wrong

I soon would learn

Thinking I’d leave this town

Here he found wealth

Money to burn

Not like the nowhere

Where he came from

And he would never return

Here I belong

Here I will die

Caught in the web of love

I can’t escape

Won’t even try

My fate is tied with the Corrupt Ones

Especially with one guy

Especially with one guy
