When the sun goes down
And the heat stays on
Young men fight
And they carry on
It's just the way of life
Down here in the Garden
This side's mine
That side's yours
You can't walk here
And break the rule
The rule that we all know
Down here in the Garden
I guess it's one more night
That we'll have to spend
With the window barred
And the kids locked in
One more night
Will make your life slowly harden
I guess it's one more night
That we'll have to spend
Where mamas cry
Daddys sin
One more night we'll spend
Down here in the Garden
