Sin of the City
Coat check girl up in happy land has a violent row with a Cuban man
Julio leaves in a drunken rage, comes back with the gasoline
The club had no fire exit, the club only had one door
Only five people came out alive, the sin is that 89 died
89 dead, 89 dead, 89 dead, 89 dead
The sin is that a year and a half before
The fire chief's out and he's raising Cain
Brand's happy land hazard close down
But no, no one never paid him no mind
No one ever paid him no mind (stop)
No one ever paid him no mind (stop)
(No mind) no one ever paid no (stop)
(No mind) never paid (stop)
(No mind) never paid no, no, no
City living heavy trouble, city living rough
We are given angry hearts, but anger's not enough
City living heavy trouble (the sin of the city, the sin of the city)
City living rough
We are given angry hearts (the sin of the city, the sin of the city)
But anger's not enough
Daily news reviews the landlords life
Found six thousand code violations light
The city has more hundred thousand wars
All for one of Forbes four hundred whores
Just one firecracker on a big bonfire
A self-serving penny-pinching wise guy style
Never allowing for the human condition
Never allowing for the human condition
Never allowing for the human condition
The sin is that these guys survived
City living heavy trouble, city living rough
We are given angry hearts, but anger's not enough
City living heavy trouble (the sin of the city, the sin of the city)
City living rough
We are given angry hearts (the sin of the city, the sin of the city)
But anger's not enough
The sin of the city, yeah
City living heavy trouble city living rough
Stop killing your people now
We are given angry hearts but anger's not enough
Stop wasting your people now
City living heavy trouble city living rough
You're shooting your people up
We are given angry hearts but anger's not enough
The sin of the city yeah
City living heavy trouble city living rough
Stop killing your people now
We are given angry hearts but anger's not enough
You're wasting your people yeah
City living heavy trouble city living rough
We are given angry hearts but anger's not enough
