Have you got a soul, Mister yours is cold
Laughing at the old folk, telling all your cruel jokes
Have you got a heart, mister yours is dark
Scaring all the children, cheating on your women
This city kills, and you’re a Victim
This city kills, and you’re a Victim
When you were a kid, was it like this
Or did you share in laughter, happy ever after
Cause I see you alone, locked in your home
Staring out your window, waiting for tomorrow
This city kills, and you’re a victim
This city kills, and you’re a Victim
Hopeless man, I wish to bring you a happy song
But my words are solemn, and my hearts been breaking for ya all day long
Mister man, I wish to bring you a happy song
But my chords are minor and my hearts been breaking for ya all day long
Maybe it’s the streetlights, maybe it’s those long nights
You didn’t have a chance, when you locked the door and left
This city kills, and you’re a victim
This city kills, and you’re a Victim
Have you got a soul, Mister yours is cold
Laughing at the old folk, telling all your cruel jokes
Have you got a Heart, mister yours is dark
Scaring all the children, cheating on your women
This city kills, and you’re a victim
This city kills, and you’re a Victim
