[Intro]
D A G |D A|

[Chorus]
D                     A
  Voices in the alley,  the boys are just chillin’,
G                            D
railing on the day’s taking, fueling up the rumour milling,
  G                            D
a few more prey along the way, chasing that elusive million,
A                                      G
back to the wall in the alley’s shade, tryin’ to hide your true colours away,
A                                    G
look in the mirror what do you see?  victim or villain?

[Verse 1]
   D                                       A
An angry boy runs from angry shouts in the angry place he called home,
G                                     D
finds comfort with his alley friends, no longer feels alone,
G                                 D
sometimes hard to understand, the shill is so misleading,
A                                       G
business in the alley’s strong, all the need, the greed and deceiving,
D                         A
leads him down the alley,   says he’s more than willing,
G                             D
 dirty deeds for dirty drugs, one more opioid killing,
  G                       D
another day in the alley, filling the needs that need filling,
A                                      G
back to the wall in the alley’s shade, tryin’ to hide your true colours away,
A                                    G
look in the mirror what do you see?  victim or villain?

[Verse 2]
    D                                A
She covers up the lifeless body, the alley looking on,
G                                        D
everything stops for just a moment, then blindly moves along,
    G                           D
she tries to make a difference, visits the alley each day,
    A                              G
one smiling face, one lifted soul, tries not to cry as she turns away,
D
so many needs, needs that need filling,
A
what’s the cost of this blood that’s spilling,
   G                         D
forgotten faces, hard cases, weight of the world seems love is fading,
  G                       D
another day in the alley, filling the needs that need filling,
A                                      G
back to the wall in the alley’s shade, tryin’ to hide your true colours away,
A                                    G
look in the mirror what do you see?  victim or villain?

[Final Chorus]
D                    A
 Voices in the alley,  the boys are just chillin’,
G                            D
railing on the day’s taking, fueling up the rumour milling,
  G                            D
a few more prey along the way, chasing that elusive million,
A                                      G
back to the wall in the alley’s shade, tryin’ to hide your true colours away,
A                                    G
look in the mirror what do you see?  victim or villain?
A                                      G
back to the wall in the alley’s shade, tryin’ to hide your true colours away,
A
look in the mirror what do you see?
