The City's Scared

All the sidewalks in the city
Al the pavement cracked and old
And the construction
Oh, what a pity
Never gets done in the cold
Street lights blinking
Pot holes sinking
Needles lay on the ground
And all the politicians
Making promises but
They don’t come around
The Broadway Lights Are dim tonight
The Broadway lights are dim…
Tonight, fueled by moonlight
To stay alive
You must survive
The night
Fueled by gunfight
The city’s scared, we’re not prepared,
Tonight
All the homeless, all the hopeless
All the litter lines the road
All the jobless
It’s fericoius
Shelters on overload
Business closes
Overdoses
See the cops and scatter
Crowds of people, march together
In the streets screaming “black lives matter"
The Broadway Lights Are dim tonight
The Broadway lights are dim…
Tonight, fueled by moonlight
To stay alive
You must survive
The night
Fueled by gunfight
The city’s scared, we’re not prepared,
Tonight
