Sirens In The City |
Look at the city |
Sinking like a ship |
Look at that tired river boil |
Look at that chain of cars piling up |
Look at that city of toil |
A rich man is cursing |
Behind the wheel |
Of a jacked up Cadillac Benz |
An ambulance crawling |
Crippled by the traffic |
While the indifferent night descends |
A playground full of children |
The laughing sound of children |
Sirens in the city |
But lord how I love this town |
Sirens in the city |
But lord how I love this town |
Crime in the streets |
It’s almost more than I can bear |
It happened again last week |
But nobody seems to care and |
I ride across the river |
I visit my poor old ma |
Ride the subway back into Manhattan |
Oh buddy |
There’s no such thing as the law |
So who’s gonna save the children? |
Who’s gonna save the children? |
Sirens in the city |
But lord how I love this town |
Sirens in the city |
But lord how I love this town |
You know I went out to make it better |
And what thanks did I get? |
Six long years |
Across the bridge of tears |
Well you ain’t seen nothing yet |
You ain’t seen nothing yet |
