This one goes out to the North End

There is an old man with dirt on his hands
There is a room swept with one night stands
A live full of regret in a rock n roll band
A whole lot a debt and a pocket full of sand
There is a sick mother, cant find a lost son
and there is a father, didn't know he had one
Run down caddy in the neighbors backyard
Where the kid got shot and it all fell apart

Just another day in the city life

Just another day where we live or die

We're all praying through the smoked filled skies

Just another day in the city life

The city life

There is a law man and he's losin' his touch

trapped a loose cannon says he wont lose much
a prospect picked and he's earning his patch
dealt a dirty deed and he's payin' for it cash
Pressure so thick you forget how to breath
gotta get drunk just to blow off some steam
So many lights but we're kept in the dark
yea they could take it all but we still got heart

Just another day in the city life

Just another day where we live or die

We're all praying through the smoked filled skies

Just another day in the city life

There is no need to be nervous,
we were born to fight
Sons and daughters we can
take it out side
Follow the lead, lead to me to water
do what it takes, to take it from me
There ain't nothing left
you can leave me my rights
carry the lord in the city life!

Just another day in the city life

Just another day where we live or die

We're all praying through the smoked filled skies

Just another day in the city life

Just another day in the city life

Just another day where we live or die

We're all praying through the smoked filled skies

Just another day in the city life

The city life
