Checkpoint Charlie

[Intro]
From checkpoint Charlie, our remote reporter's take for a later news broadcast:
- Today we are at checkpoint Charlie..

[Verse 1]
If you want the party every night
Then alright, come over to the east side
High priced entertainment, who could ask for more?
Alright, then come over the east side

If you want to see your money go
Tonight, fly over to the east side
They got your connections, make your pockets bleed
Come on, they're waiting on the east side

If you want to feel real life
Goodbye, you won't find it on the east side
Sure, everything looks up when you're lying on the floor
That's all, there's nothing on the east side, on the east side

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge]
And all the black-eyed boys
And all the wide-eyed girls making money
And all the black-eyed boys
And all the wide-eyed girls spending money

[Chorus]
(Checkpoint Charlie)
(Checkpoint Charlie)

(Checkpoint Charlie)
(Checkpoint Charlie)

[Verse 2]
If you want to lose your mind
Then alright, come lose it on the east side
We got what you needed: all you want, and more
Alright, go over on the east side

If you want to leave it all behind
That's fine, you're no one on the east side
One more faceless creature swinging on the floor
No more, come join us on the east side

[Bridge]
And all the black-eyed boys
And all the white-eyed girls making money

And all the black-eyed boys
And all the white-eyed girls spending money

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
(Checkpoint Charlie)
(Checkpoint Charlie)

(Checkpoint Charlie)
(Checkpoint Charlie)

(Checkpoint Charlie)
(Checkpoint Charlie)
(Checkpoint Charlie)
(Checkpoint Charlie)
(Checkpoint Charlie)
(Checkpoint Charlie)
