The City Won't Sleep Tonight Songtext
von Blackout Problems

Step outside where (dull scissors could cut the air)
Something′s wrong here
The people's voices in despair
The papers write about us, TV talks about us
But the fact is they never listen to us
On his golden chair, the king is scared
The empire falls, we′ve been safely prepared

You've built it brick by brick
You'll see me spit on it
You should hope to get out
Hope to get out alive

The city won′t sleep tonight (not tonight, not tonight)
We riot all over town, all over town tonight
The city won′t sleep tonight (not tonight, not tonight)
We riot all over town, all over town tonight
The city won't sleep tonight


Brother take care
The biggest cross is the hardest to bear
I have been there
I know this fight is far from fair

I′ve seen the envy, the greed, seen the blood on the street
Seen the madness of the kings and the queens
The chair was spotted at Lost & Found
We shook the earth and we stood our ground

You've built it brick by brick
You′ll see me spit on it
You should hope to get out
Hope to get out alive

The city won't sleep tonight (not tonight, not tonight)
We riot all over town, all over town tonight
The city won′t sleep tonight (not tonight, not tonight)
We riot all over town, all over town tonight
The city won't sleep tonight

We paint the sky blue (we paint the sky blue)
We paint the streets red (we paint the streets red)
We paint the sky blue (we paint the sky blue)
Fight us, we fight back


We paint the sky blue
We paint the streets red
We paint the sky blue
Fight us, we fight back

You've built it brick by brick
You′ll see me spit on it
You should hope to get out
Hope to get out alive

The city won′t sleep tonight (not tonight, not tonight)
We riot all over town, all over town tonight
The city won't sleep tonight (not tonight, not tonight)
We riot all over town, all over town tonight

Fight us, we fight back
Fight us, we fight back
Fight us, we fight back
