The City Won’t Sleep Tonight

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Step outside where Dull scissors could cut the air Something's wrong here The people's voice is in despair The papers write about us TV talk 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 savely prepared [Pre-Chorus] You've build it brick by brick You'll see me spit on it You should hope to get out Hope to get out alive [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 and found We shook the earth And we stood our ground [Pre-Chorus] You've build it brick by brick You'll see me spit on it You should hope to get out Hope to get out alive [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] We paint the sky blue We paint the streets red 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 [Pre-Chorus] You've build it brick by brick You'll see me spit on it You should hope to get out Hope to get out alive [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Fight us, we fight back Fight us, we fight back Fight us, we fight back
