Like soldiers on the battlefield of life Criminals stalk the night A light reaches down from a chopper above Like some kind of hand of God Disposing of all guilty and protecting the innocent And when all is said and done The war continues in a place we call trash city People die on the everyday It's such a suicidal nation (suicidal nation) Everybody turns their heads away They just ignore the situation (get an education) 'Cause I'm sick of seeing all this trash Livin' in a city with no green grass But that's where I'm living now (trash city) That's where I'm livin' now, come on Down, down, down, down in trash city That's where I'm livin' Down, down, down, down in trash city Mr. Pusher working everyday He's got a nasty reputation (nasty reputation) We pay the beggars to stay away They ought to take a vacation (take a vacation) Well I'm down in trash city Yeah, I'm down in trash city Ain't it a pity, down in trash city Hey babe, isn't this place beautiful People die on the everyday All my friends seem to fade away to the southside All my friends seem to fade away, fade away That's where I'm livin' now Trash city
