0:07Songs Title：subcity
0:16People say it doesnt exist
0:19Cause no one would like to admit
0:23That there is a city underground
0:30Where people live everyday
0:34Off the waste and decay
0:38Off the discards of their fellow man
0:45Here in subcity life is hard
0:52We cant receive any government relief
0:57Id like to please give mr president my honest regards
1:05For disregarding me
1:13They say theres too much crime in these city streets
1:18My sentiments exactly
1:20Government and big business hold the purse strings
1:24When I worked I worked in the factories
1:27Im at the mercy of the world
1:35I guess Im lucky to be alive
2:08They say weve fallen through the cracks
2:10They say the system works
2:12But we wont let it
2:14Help
2:15I guess they never stop to think
2:17We might not just want handouts
2:19But a way to make an honest living
2:22Living this aint living
2:58What did I do deserve this
3:01Had my trust in god
3:05Worked everyday of my life
3:07Thought I had some guarantees
3:09Thats what I thought
3:12At least thats what I thought
3:46Last night I had another restless sleep
3:50Wondering what tomorrow might bring
3:52Last night I dreamed
3:54A cold blue light was shining down on me
3:56I screamed myself awake
3:57Thought I must be dying
3:59Thought I must be dying
