Lyrics

[Verse 1] Coat-check girl up in happy land Has a violent row with a Cuban man Julio leaves in a drunken rage Comes back with the gasoline The club had no fire exit The club only had one door Only five people came out alive The sin is that eighty-nine died [Bridge] Eighty-nine dead Eighty-nine dead Eighty-nine dead Eighty-nine dead [Verse 2] The sin is that a year and a half Before the fire chief's out And he's raising cain brands Happy land hazard close down, but no No-one ever paid him no mind [Chorus] City living heavy trouble City living rough We are given angry hearts But anger's not enough City living heavy trouble City living rough We are given angry hearts But anger's not enough [Verse 3] Daily news reviews of the landlord's life Found six-thousand code violations light The city has more a hundred thousand wars All for one of Forbes' four-hundred whores Just one fire cracker on a big bonfire Of self-serving, penny-pinching, wise guy style Never allowing for the human condition The sin is that these guys survive [Chorus] City living heavy trouble City living rough We are given angry hearts But anger's not enough City living heavy trouble City living rough We are given angry hearts But anger's not enough [Outro] The sin of the city (City living heavy trouble) (City living rough) Stop killing your people now (We are given angry hearts) (But anger's not enough) Stop wasting your people now (City living heavy trouble) (City living rough) You're using your people up (We are given angry hearts) (But anger's not enough) Sin of the city (City living heavy trouble) (City living rough) Stop killing your people now (We are given angry hearts) (But anger's not enough) You're wasting your people (City living heavy trouble) (City living rough) We are given angry hearts But anger's not enough
