Songs Title:subcity[00:00:07]
People say it doesnt exist[00:00:16]
Cause no one would like to admit[00:00:19]
That there is a city underground[00:00:23]
Where people live everyday[00:00:30]
Off the waste and decay[00:00:34]
Off the discards of their fellow man[00:00:38]
Here in subcity life is hard[00:00:45]
We cant receive any government relief[00:00:52]
Id like to please give mr president my honest regards[00:00:57]
For disregarding me[00:01:05]
They say theres too much crime in these city streets[00:01:13]
My sentiments exactly[00:01:18]
Government and big business hold the purse strings[00:01:20]
When I worked I worked in the factories[00:01:24]
Im at the mercy of the world[00:01:27]
I guess Im lucky to be alive[00:01:35]
They say weve fallen through the cracks[00:02:08]
They say the system works[00:02:10]
But we wont let it[00:02:12]
Help[00:02:14]
I guess they never stop to think[00:02:15]
We might not just want handouts[00:02:17]
But a way to make an honest living[00:02:19]
Living this aint living[00:02:22]
What did I do deserve this[00:02:58]
Had my trust in god[00:03:01]
Worked everyday of my life[00:03:05]
Thought I had some guarantees[00:03:07]
Thats what I thought[00:03:09]
At least thats what I thought[00:03:12]
Last night I had another restless sleep[00:03:46]
Wondering what tomorrow might bring[00:03:50]
Last night I dreamed[00:03:52]
A cold blue light was shining down on me[00:03:54]
I screamed myself awake[00:03:56]
Thought I must be dying[00:03:57]
Thought I must be dying[00:03:59]
