My City Songtext
von Shark Island

Another day, another dollar
Another sacrificial lamb
Another coin, another toss
Another siren in the night
Burnin′ up the walls
'Cause I got no more to give
I don′t care anymore this is just the place I live

My city is a junkyard, graveyard, suicide machine
Sick and sadistic, opportunistic
Backstabbin' madman runnin' the scene
My city is a drug den, playpen
Mountain of trash spreadin′ like a disease
My city is a last-chance ride to the land of broken dreams


Another night, another street
The lines are drawn the lines are crossed
A moment comes, the battle′s done
The remaining virtue lost
Oh, breakin' down the walls
In a world that doesn′t give
They don't care anymore this is just the place they live

My city is a junkyard, graveyard, suicide machine
Sick and sadistic, opportunistic
Backstabbin′ madman runnin' the scene
My city is a drug den, playpen
Mountain of trash spreadin′ like a disease
My city is a last-chance ride to the land of broken dreams

As the years go by
You start to wonder why
Still, the dream is kept alive
And the fool's desire
Only feeds the fire
Ooh, the fire's burnin′ bright

In the darkest stench of this decay tattered town rises
From the raw energy below
The new Babylon′s ablaze in pillars of fire
Decadence, passion and desire
It's sin city, anger city, my city


My city is a junkyard, graveyard, suicide machine
Sick and sadistic, opportunistic
Backstabbin′ madman runnin' the scene
My city is a drug den, playpen
Mountain of trash spreadin′ like a disease
My city is a last-chance ride to the land of broken dreams
