Alive In 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.

Patronize me, crucify me, throw me in your hole

Suicide see, can't control me, the only thing you know

Try to break me, try to make me, turn against my soul

Try to burn me, try to turn me, against the things I know

I know you, you're alive in the city, never bring me down

I'll turn you from pride to pity, your feet ain't on the ground

Down get down

Running from the man gonna keep me running

Now you've found

Never gonna get what you want from money

Down you'll see, alive in the city where the blind man see

Dawn this town, never gonna change your history

Classify me, pacify me, stab me with your smile

Try to hate me, desecrate me, keep me in denial

You're hesitating, I'm penetrating, deep inside your mind

Infiltrating, eviscerating, everything I find

I found you down in the city, now it is your time

I've damned you, and all you're pity, finished with your lies

Damn this town, never gonna lose your history

Classify me, pacify me, you'll see

Crucify me, patronize me, you'll see

Try to break me, try to make me, you'll see

Try to turn me

Down you'll see, living like a pig in misery

Down get down, spitting in the face of you and me
