Subcity - Tracy Chapman.mp3

[00:16.210]People say it doesn't exist
[00:20.210]'Cause no one would like to admit
[00:23.960]That there is a city underground
[00:31.210]Where people live everyday
[00:34.711]Off the waste and decay
[00:38.710]Off the discards of their fellow man
[00:45.460]Here in subcity life is hard
[00:52.711]We can't receive any government relief
[00:58.210]Won't you please, please give the President my honest regards
[01:05.960]For disregarding me
[01:13.710]They say there's too much crime in these city streets
[01:18.460]My sentiments exactly
[01:21.461]Government and big business hold the purse strings
[01:25.211]When I worked I worked in the factories
[01:28.464]I'm at the mercy of the world
[01:35.710]I guess I'm lucky to be alive
[01:39.210]Here in subcity life is hard
[01:46.460]We can't receive any government relief
[01:51.960]Won't you please, please give the President my honest regards
[01:59.460]For disregarding me
[02:08.461]They say we've fallen through the cracks
[02:11.460]They say the system works
[02:12.960]But we won't let it help
[02:15.714]I guess they never stop to think
[02:17.710]We might just want handouts
[02:19.710]Way to make an honest living
[02:23.210]Living this ain't living
[02:29.710]Here in subcity life is hard
[02:36.710]We can't receive any government relief
[02:41.960]I'd like to please, please give the President my honest regards
[02:52.710]For disregarding me
[02:59.460]What did I do deserve this
[03:02.211]Had my trust in god
[03:05.960]Worked everyday of my life
[03:08.461]Thought I had some guarantees
[03:10.210]That's what I thought
[03:13.211]At least that's what I thought
[03:18.210]'Cause here in subcity life is hard
[03:25.210]We can't receive any government relief
[03:30.460]I'd like to please give the President my honest regards
[03:38.210]For disregarding me
[03:46.960]Last night I had another restless sleep
[03:50.461]Wondering what tomorrow might bring
[03:53.211]Last night I dreamed
[03:54.710]A cold blue light was shining down on me
[03:56.709]I screamed myself awake
[03:58.211]Thought I must be dying, dying
[04:01.412]Thought I must be dying, dying
[04:06.662]'Cause here in subcity life is hard
[04:13.663]We can't receive any government relief
