Less Than Jake

Lyrics Does the lion city still roar? Less Than Jake

Does the lion city still roar?


I'll keep my faith alive
cause this is paradise or parricide
I can't believe this sight
streets full of my faces and junkie eyes.
The streets won't sleep tonight,
a lullaby for the half alive
the city swings and whines
to the double crime of drugs and hard times

Lion city's sirens sing the night away, night away
Lion city's sirens sing the night away
The city feels like a cage
feels like a powder keg
that's almost set to explode

Lion city's begun to rot,
it's a matter of time before the roaring stops.
the scene from the ground up,
from the painted walls to the rooftop.
Lion city's closed and locked
While the pop of feet crack on sidewalks
the haves and the have-not's
fake the backdrops of drums and gunshots

Lion city's sirens sing the night away, night away
Lion city's sirens sing the night away
There's an overdose on 8th
and he does the cocaine shake
cause the lion city's silencing the night away

The city seems like it's trapped
between it's future and it's past
life or death, or the city not coming back.
The city feels like a cage,
feels like a powder keg
and now it's going to explode

Lion city's sirens sing the night away, night away
Lion city's sirens sing the night away
There's an overdose on 8th
and he's wearing a blue face
cause the Lion city's sirens sing the night away,
sing the night away
sing the night away
And I won't be long.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics DOES THE LION CITY STILL ROAR? of LESS THAN JAKE is also present in the album Gnv fla (2008)
