Lyrics for Subcity by Tracy Chapman:
| | | Artist: | Tracy Chapman |
| | Album: | Crossroads | | Track: | Subcity | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 59 | | | | Lyrics: | People say it doesn't exist
'Cause no one would like to admit
That there is a city
underground
Where people live everyday
Off the waste and decay
Off the discards of
their fellow man
Here in subcity life is hard
We can't receive any government
relief
I'd like to give Mr. President my honest regards
For disregarding
me
They say there's too much crime in these city streets
My sentiments
exactly
Government and big business hold the purse strings
When I worked I worked in the
factories
I'm at the mercy of the world
I guess I'm lucky to be alive
They say
we've fallen through the cracks
They say the system works
But we won't let
it
Help
I guess they never stop to think
We might not just want handouts
But a
way to make an honest living
Living this ain't living
What did I do to deserve
this
Had my trust in god
Worked everyday of my life
Thought I had some
guarantees
That's what I thought
At least that's what I thought
Last night I
had another restless sleep
Wondering what tomorrow might bring
Last night I dreamed
A
cold blue light was shining down on me
I screamed myself awake
Thought I must be
dying
Thought I must be dying | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
