Soldier in the ghetto


We need a contribution
To help us find a solution
Barely staying alive
In all this confusion
I never took a cent
That wasn't mine to keep
Worked my fingers to the bone
Dug myself in way too deep yeah

Don't define yourself by what you are
Define yourself by what you love

I'm a soldier in the ghetto
Fighting for a few home truths
I'm a soldier in the ghetto
There's war in my neighborhood
Hey I should have known better
Than to trust in the wisdom of fools
I'm a soldier in the ghetto
Won't somebody please call a truce

Now everything's different
And nothing's really changed
People trying to move on up
But they just get rearranged yeah
They'll give you what you want
Repossess all you own
I don't know where I live
But I wanna go home yeah

Don't define yourself by what you are
Define yourself by what you love

I'm a soldier in the ghetto
Fighting for a few home truths
I'm a soldier in the ghetto
There's war in my neighborhood
Hey I should have known better
Than to trust in the wisdom of fools
I'm a soldier in the ghetto
Won't somebody please call a truce

What it all comes down to
Is you don't really care
I bet you sleep like a baby
While we lie awake saying our prayers

Don't define yourself by what you are
Define yourself by what you love

I'm a soldier in the ghetto
Fighting for a few home truths
I'm a soldier in the ghetto
There's war in my neighborhood
Hey I should have known better
Than to trust in the wisdom of fools
I'm a soldier in the ghetto
Won't somebody please call a truce

I'm a soldier in the ghetto
I'm a soldier in the ghetto
I'm a soldier in the ghetto

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Black Star Riders is a hard rock band formed in 2012 by some members of the legendary Thin Lizzy. The project was born from the intention to record new material without using the historic name, but the legacy of Thin Lizzy is evident in the musical soul of Black Star Riders. Considered "the next step in the evolution of the history of Thin Lizzy", BSR is a full-time band that stands out for its powerful and melodic sound, with influences from classic hard rock and a touch of Celtic rock. Among the most representative songs are "Bound for Glory", "Soldierstown" and "All Hell Breaks Loose". Their self-titled debut album (2013) was well received by critics and fans, consolidating the band's position in the international hard rock scene.
