Sutherland Brothers & Quiver - Dirty City lyrics

The story of my life was such Nobody wanted to hear And every time I told it They put their hands across their ears So I went down to the dirty city Where the people live on dreams And I sang out on the corner Trying to turn the heads of kings and queens Yeah, I sang ooh I sang ooh I sang ooh to the dirty city Then I noticed the back of a matchbox And it didn't make much sense at all It said people heading to the stars Get a better chance to fall I thought that's no good to you and me We got so far to go Then I realized though truth is free It's only the lies that show Yeah, I sang ooh I sang ooh I sang ooh to the dirty city Some people work hard for all their lives And never get a thing Some people seem to do nothing But have all that life can bring Well, you and I, we've been working so hard Trying to get somewhere Oh, but maybe when we do that We find we really, really didn't care Yeah, we sang ooh We sang ooh We sang ooh to the dirty city We sang ooh We sang ooh We sang ooh
