Does The Lion City Still Roar

Bm G I'll keep my faith alive Em F# Cause this is paradise for parasites Bm G I can't believe my eyes Em F# Streets full of blank faces and junkie eyes Bm G The streets won't sleep tonight Em F# Bm A lullaby for the half alive G The city swings and whines Em F# To the double crime of drugs and hard times Bm G Em F# Lion city's sirens sing the night away, night away Bm G D F# Lion city's sirens sing the night away A Bm The city feels like a cage G D Feels like a powder keg Bm G F# That's almost set to explode Bm G Em F# (same chords the whole verse) Lion city's begun to rot It's a matter of time until the roaring stops The scene from the ground up From the painted walls to the rooftops Lion city's closed and locked While the pop of feet crack on sidewalks The haves and the have-nots Fade to backdrops of drums and gunshots Lion city's sirens sing the night away, night away Bm G D F# Lion city's sirens sing the night away Bm G There's an overdose on 8th Em F# And he does the cocaine shake Bm G D F# Cause the lion city's sirens sing the night away A Bm The city seems like it's trapped G D A Between it's future and it's past Bm G D A Life or death of a city not coming back A Bm The city feels like a cage G D Feels like a powder keg Bm G F# And now it's gonna explode Lion city's sirens sing the night away, night away Lion city's sirens sing the night away There's an overdose on 8th And he's wearing a blue face Cause lion city's sirens sing the night away Bm G D F# Sing the night away Bm G D F# Sing the night away G F# And I won't be long
