“the inner city” (lyrics)

******************************************************************

INTRO: 

ain’t he concise?
isn’t it queer?

VERSE 1: 

coke deals in the park again
shot right through the heart again
begging me for change again
(donate blood today)

VERSE 2: 

get down on my knees again
offer you my hand again
hoping you’ll forgive again

VERSE 3: 

burn my final bridge again
reading all my books again
writing off another friend

VERSE 4: 

never going back again…
(no going backwards…)

PART 2: 

the mere mention of manson
mocking the mafia…oh…

providing a place when there’s nowhere to go…

show me a sign
sure as the sun done shine

to anyone who doesn’t love me…

soon you’ll see…
soon to be…
soon you’ll see…
soon to be…

OUTRO: 

riot!

(i don’t wanna any part of inner city life)

riot!

(i’ve got the time to spare, i’m sharpening my knife)

(i’ve got a new complaint…)

riot!

(police protect the weakened fortunes for a few)

(get a whiff of that country air…)

riot!

(once we deplete them they’ll have nothing more to do)
