Lyrics
Tenement Zone
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.
Guarded, despised, backs to the wall, robbed of the chance we deserve
Told that we're lucky to be here at all, our only role is to serve
Prisoners from birth, we're denied evry right, to a free life of our own
Non-one can stop us, we'll stand up and fight, lords of the tenement zone
Kickin'an'screamin' i came to this life
I had to fight just to survive
Live by your wits or die by the knife
In the back room of an alleyway dive
Smell of freedom in the air chaos rages everywhere
See the victims running scared fighting for their lives, yeah
We've exposed the lives you lied now it's us that turns the tide
We no longer have to hide breakout to the other side
Guard dogs, guns, electrified wire, cameras watch my every move
Zombie-like faces watch me from the tower, guilty with no need of proof
I'll find a way out i'll go it alone, not gonna fall for their lies
No-one can stop me from making my run, crush anybody who tries
Solo: milo
Nothing for nothing an' no-one goes free
Dog eat dog everyone for themselves
Live with the fact that we're too blind to see
There's no escape from this dangerous hell
Smell of freedom in the air chaos rages everywhere
See the victims running scared fighting for their lives, yeah
We've exposed the lives you lied now it's us that turns the tide
We no longer have to hide breakout to the other side
