Lyrics The Corrupt Ones - Dusty Springfield

The Corrupt Ones

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
