Lyrics
Chinatown
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Let there be peace on earth, let love reign supreme
You're always smiling
But you're up to no good
You're always smiling
But you're up to no good
You're always smiling
But you're up to no good
You're always smiling
But you're up to no good
When I hear the gun shots outside
I heard the news and I tried not to cry
Well, I've heard a lot of things that I
Never thought my friends
Would have to say
Gotta, gotta, gotta live
The way you wanna
Gotta, gotta, gotta be
The way you're gonna
Gotta, gotta, gotta love
Just who you wanna
Gotta, gotta, gotta go
You're always smiling
But you're up to no good
You're always smiling
But you're up to no good
You're always smiling
But you're up to no good
You're always smiling
But you're up to no good
A kid got gunned down by SF Police
It's no longer far away, it's right down my street
Well, it makes me wanna get my gun
Makes me wanna cry
We can't let them win
Gotta, gotta gotta live
The way you wanna
Gotta, gotta, gotta be
The way you're gonna
Gotta, gotta, gotta love
Just who you wanna
Gotta, gotta, gotta go
I gotta go
Go, go, go
I gotta go
Go, go, go
I gotta go
Go, go, go
I gotta go
Gotta, gotta gotta live
The way you wanna
Gotta, gotta, gotta be
The way you're gonna
Gotta, gotta, gotta love
Just who you wanna
Gotta, gotta, gotta go
Gotta, gotta, gotta love
Just who you wanna
Gotta, gotta, gotta go
