[00:03.19](One, two, three, four.)
[00:04.40]
[00:11.91][Doo-wop refrain]
[00:26.38]
[00:26.69]It's a beautiful city
[00:28.27]We've been living in latest
[00:30.28]Never go to the South side
[00:32.52](Don't you go down to the South side.)
[00:34.27]And there's pot holes
[00:35.90]Sleeping in the black concrete
[00:37.37]And your little rebel rebel's
[00:40.29]Just a pebble in a big stream
[00:41.71]Yes, we're living underneath a
[00:43.33]World imperial empire
[00:45.34]And it's built on the flimsy web of
[00:47.30]Your money and your desire
[00:49.17]We built this city on the ruins of
[00:51.40]Rock and roll
[00:53.21]One minute you're driving on smooth pavement
[00:54.54]Then you're down in a dark pot hole
[00:56.72]And if there's black men sleeping on
[00:59.02]Your white concrete
[01:00.69]You go and see a ten dollar movie
[01:01.85]Then you're caught int the web of
[01:03.73]The waking dream
[01:05.40][Doo-wop refrain]
[01:34.32]It's a beautiful city
[01:36.19]But the streets are full of holes
[01:38.12]I spend my whole life on the North side
[01:39.99](I don't go down to the South side.)
[01:42.21]And I drive on the concrete
[01:43.74]And I pay my taxes too
[01:45.65]And I could write a letter to the mayor
[01:47.77]But we both got a lot to do
[01:49.49]And I admit it's inconvenient
[01:51.37]To get robbed in a combat zone
[01:53.36]Well, shit, I had to cancel my credit card
[01:55.12]Had to buy me a brand new phone
[01:57.42]But it's a beautiful city
[01:59.12]And the cops are on our side
[02:00.95]I mosey down to check out the
[02:03.65]Angry mob just to keep myself occupied
[02:04.92]And you can talk about Chicago
[02:06.83]You can talk about New York
[02:08.60]You can talk about London, England
[02:10.37]You can have a nice day, take a walk in the park
[02:12.39]But there's always at least two
[02:14.01]Different cities in your town
[02:15.83]And if you can't look at the dark one
[02:17.79]Then you'll spend your life living
[02:19.89]Down in a dark pot hole
[02:20.64][Doo-wop refrain]
