lyrics

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
