Nightmare 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.
Nobody knows the trouble she's seen
She is she's my ghetto queen
For real
In this brutal system that knows no pity
Living in Nightmare City
In this urban battlefield she mans the barricade
with some kind of crazy hope in these days of rage
Living in Nightmare City (2x)
Nobody knows th trouble she's seen
She is she's my ghetto queen
Here comes the crawling politicians on their ghetto safari
Living in Nightmare City
In this urban battlefield she lives in smoke and haze
With some kind of crazy hope in these days of rage
Living in Nightmare City (2x)
Nobody knows th trouble she's seen
She is she's my ghetto queen
She speaks without saying a word
She screams without being heard
Living in Nightmare City
(2x)
Nobody know's the trouble I've seen
She is she's my ghetto queen
