I have squandered my resistence

When I left my home and my family I was no more than a boy
G
In the company of strangers

In the quiet of a railway station running scared

Looking for the places only they would know

C Am
Asking only workmans wages I come looking for a job
G
But I get no offers

Just a come-on from the whores on seventh avenue

I took some comfort there. Ooo-la-la la la la la

where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me

In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade

And he carries the reminders

Of ev'ry glove that laid him down or cut him 'til he cried out
