City Life

There's a young man with dirt on his hands
 There's a room of sweat, full on one night stands
 A life of regret in a rock and roll band
 There's a whole lot of debt and a pocket full of sand
 There's a sick mother, can't find her lost son
 And there's a father who didn't know he had one run down caddy
 In The neighbors backyard
 Where the kid got shot and it all fell apart
 Just another day in the city life
 Just another day where we live or die
 We're all praying through the smoke filled sky
 Just another day in the city life
 There's a law man and he's losing his touch
 Trapped a loose cannon says he won't lose much
 A prospect picked and he's earning his patch
 Dealt a dirty deed and it's paid for in cash
 The pressure's so thick you forget how the breathe
 Gotta get drunk just to blow off some steam
 So many lights but we're kept in the dark
 Yeah, they can take it all but we still got heart
 Just another day in the city life
 Just another day where we live or die
 We're all praying through the smoke filled sky
 Just another day in the city life
 There's no need to be nervous
 We're born to fight
 Sons and daughter we can
 Take it outside
 Follow the lead, lead me to water
 Do what it takes then take it from me
 When there ain't nothing left
 You can read me my rights
 Carry the load in the city life
 Just another day in the city life
 Just another day where we live or die
 We're all praying through the smoke filled sky
 Just another day in the city life
 Just another day in the city life
 Just another day where we live or die
 We're all praying through the smoke filled sky
 Just another day in the city life
