Lyrics
My 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.
Another day, another dollar
Another sacrificial lamb
Another coin, another toss
Another siren in the night
Burnin' up the walls
'Cause I got no more to give
I don't care anymore
This is just the place I live
My city is a junkyard, graveyard
Suicide machine
Sick and sadistic, opportunistic
Backstabbin' madman runnin' the scene
My city is a drug den, playpen
Mountain of trash
Spreadin' like a disease
My city is a last-chance ride
To the land of broken dreams
Another night, another street
The lines are drawn, the lines are crossed
A moment comes, the battle's done
The remaining virtue lost
Oh, breakin' down the walls
In a world that doesn't give
They don't care anymore
This is just the place they live
My city is a junkyard, graveyard
Suicide machine
Sick and sadistic, opportunistic
Backstabbin' madman runnin' the scene
My city is a drug den, playpen
Mountain of trash
Spreadin' like a disease
My city is a last-chance ride
To the land of broken dreams
As the years go by
You start to wonder why
Still, the dream is kept alive
And the fool's desire
Only feeds the fire
Ooh, the fire's burnin' bright
In the darkest stench of this decay
Tattered town rises
From the raw energy below
The new Babylon's ablaze
In pillars of fire
Decadence, passion and desire
It's sin city, anger city
My city
My city is a junkyard, graveyard
Suicide machine
Sick and sadistic, opportunistic
Backstabbin' madman runnin' the scene
My city is a drug den, playpen
Mountain of trash
Spreadin' like a disease
My city is a last-chance ride
To the land of broken dreams
