Cold Hard Steel
by
Alice C. Bateman
The reassuring feel
Of cold hard steel
Living on edge in the city
The telephone rings
Some jerk says nasty things
Life on the edge in the city
A weapon by your bed
Fear in your head
Living on edge in the city
Why can’t I get out of here
Must we always live in fear
Life here is no longer pretty
The reassuring feel
Of cold hard steel
Living on edge in the city
