Living and dying
   In Chinatown
   Yes they're living and dying down in old Chinatown
   You better look around
   Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in Chinatown
   Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in Chinatown
  
   Laughing and crying you know it's a fact
   They're not laughing they are crying
   `Cause they won't be back
   Oh no you don't come back
   Not from Chinatown
   Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in Chinatown
   Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in Chinatown
  
   Chinatown, it's a different scene
   There are people there, they are so obscene
   If you see what I mean
   Then they've sold you the dream
   Down in Chinatown
   What goes up it must come down
  
   Living and dying
   There is no release
   Living and dying
   There is no relief
   There is no beliefs
   Not in Chinatown
   Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in Chinatown
   Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in Chinatown
