David Baerwald - Sirens In The City lyrics

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
