David Baerwald - Sirens In The City lyrics

Artist: David Baerwald

album: Bedtime Stories


Look at the city
Sinking like a ship
Look at that tired river boil
Look at that chain of cars piling up
Look at that city of toil
A rich man is cursing
Behind the wheel
Of a jacked up Cadillac Benz
An ambulance crawling
Crippled by the traffic
While the indifferent night descends

A playground full of children
The laughing sound of children
Sirens in the city
But lord how I love this town
Sirens in the city
But lord how I love this town
Crime in the streets
It's almost more than I can bear
It happened again last week
But nobody seems to care and
I ride across the river
I visit my poor old ma
Ride the subway back into Manhattan
Oh buddy
There's no such thing as the law
So who's gonna save the children?
Who's gonna save the children?
Sirens in the city
But lord how I love this town
Sirens in the city
But lord how I love this town

You know I went out to make it better
And what thanks did I get?
Six long years
Across the bridge of tears
Well you ain't seen nothing yet
You ain't seen nothing yet
