Pot Holes
(One, two, three, four)
(Ow, dow-dow, doo-doo-roo)
(Ow, dow-dow, doo-doo-roo)
(Ow, dow-dow, doo-doo-roo)
(Ow, dow-dow, doo-doo-roo)
(Ow, dow-dow, doo-doo-roo)
(Ow, dow-dow, doo-doo-roo)
(Ow, dow-dow, doo-doo-roo)
(Ow, dow-dow, doo-doo-roo)
Well, it's a beautiful city we've been living in lately
Never go to the South Side (don't you go down to the South Side, doo-doo, dow)
And there's potholes sleeping in the black concrete
And your little rebel, rebel's just a pebble in a big stream (doo-doo, doo-doo, dow)
Yes, we're living underneath a world imperial empire
And it's built on the flimsy web of your money and your desire (doo-doo, doo-doo, dow)
And yes, we built this city on the ruins of rock and roll (doo-doo, dow)
One minute you're driving on smooth pavement then you're down in a dark pothole (doo-doo, dow, doo-doo, doo-doo, dow)
And then there's black men sleeping on your white concrete (doo-doo, dow)
You go and see a ten dollar movie (doo-doo, dow)
Then you're caught in the web of the waking dream, ah-ooh (doo-doo, doo-doo, dow)
(Ow, dow-dow, doo-doo-roo)
(Ow, dow-dow, doo-doo-roo)
(Ow, dow-dow, doo-doo-roo)
(Ow, dow-dow, doo-doo-roo)
(Ow, dow-dow, doo-doo-roo)
(Ow, dow-dow, doo-doo-roo)
(Ow, dow-dow, doo-doo-roo)
(Ow, dow-dow-dow)
Ooh
Well, it's a beautiful city
But the streets are full of holes
I spend my whole life on the North Side
(I don't go down to the South Side, doo-doo, dow)
And I drive on the concrete (doo-doo, doo-doo, dow)
And I pay my taxes, too
And I could write a letter to the mayor (doo-doo, doo-doo, dow)
But we both got a lot to do (doo-doo, doo-doo, dow)
And I admit it's inconvenient
To get robbed in a combat zone
Well, shit, I had to cancel my credit card
Had to buy me a brand new phone
But it's a beautiful city
And the cops are on our side
I mosey down to check out the angry mob
Just to keep myself occupied (doo-doo, doo-doo, dow)
And you can talk about Chicago (doo-doo, dow)
You can talk about New York (doo-doo, dow)
You can talk about London, England
You can have a nice day, take a walk in the park (doo-doo, doo-doo, dow)
But there's always at least two (doo-doo, dow)
Different cities in your town
And if you can't look at the dark one (doo-doo, dow)
Then you'll spend your life living down in a dark pothole (doo-doo, doo-doo, dow)
(Ow, dow-dow, doo-doo-roo)
(Ow, dow-dow, doo-doo-roo)
(Ow, dow-dow, doo-doo-roo)
(Ow, dow-dow, doo-doo-roo)
(Ow, doo-doo, dow) Ooh, ah-ooh
(Doo-doo, dow) Ah-ooh
(Doo-doo, dow, doo-doo, dow) Ah-ooh
(Doo-doo, dow) Ah-ooh
(Doo-doo, dow) Ah-ooh
(Doo-doo, dow, dow, dow, dow, dow) Ah-ooh
(Doo-doo-roo, dow)
(Doo-doo-roo, dow)
(Doo-doo-roo, dow)
(Doo-doo-roo, dow)
(Doo-doo-roo, dow)
(Doo-doo-roo, dow)
(Doo-doo-roo, dow, dow, dow, dow, dow)
(Doo-doo-roo, dow)
(Doo-doo-roo, dow)
(Doo-doo-roo, dow)
(Doo-doo-roo, dow)
(Doo-doo-roo, dow)
(Doo-doo-roo, dow)
(Doo-doo-roo, dow, dow, dow, dow, dow)
(Ow, dow-dow, doo-doo-roo)
(Ow, dow-dow, doo-doo-roo)
(Ow, dow-dow, doo-doo-roo)
(Ow, dow-dow, doo-doo-roo)
(Ow, dow-dow, doo-doo-roo)
