Subcity |
| 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 |
| Won’t you please, please give the 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 |
| Here in subcity life is hard |
| We can’t receive any government relief |
| Won’t you please, please give the President my honest regards |
| For disregarding me |
| 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 |
| Here in subcity life is hard |
| We can’t receive any government relief |
| Won’t you please, please give the President my honest regards |
| For disregarding me |
| What did I do 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 |
| Here in subcity life is hard |
| We can’t receive any government relief |
| Won’t you please, please give the President my honest regards |
| For disregarding me |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| Disregarding me |
| Disregarding me |
| Disregarding me |
| Disregarding me |
| Disregarding me |
| Disregarding me |
| Disregarding me |
| Disregarding me |
| Disregarding me |
