Lyrics
Sun Of The City
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.
Coat cheeck girl up in happyland has a violent
row with a cuban man.
Julio leaves in a drunken rage.
Comes back with the gasoline.
The club had no fire exit.
The club had no door.
Only five people came out alive.
The sin is that 89 died.
89 dead 89 dead 89 dead 89 dead.
The sin is a year and a half before the fire chief´s out and he´s raising cain brands happyland hazard close down
but no.
No-one ever paid him no mind.
City living heavy trouble.
City living rough.
We are given angry heart.
But anger´s not enough.
Daily News reviews of the landlords life found
six thousand code violations light.
The city has
more a hundred thousand wars all fore one of
forbes´ four hundred whores.
Just one fire
cracker on a big bonfire of self serving penny
pinching wiseguy style.
Never allowing for the human condition.
The sin is that these guys survive.
City living heavy trouble.
City living rough.
We are given angry heart.
But anger´s not enough.
City living heavy trouble.
City living rough.
We are given angry heart.
But anger´s not enough.....rpt.
You´re using your people up.
Stop killing your people now.
Stop wasting your people now.
Sin of the city.
