INNER CITY TRAGEDY

I SAW A LITTLE GIRL LIVING ON THE STREET
SELLING ANYTHING JUST TO MAKE ENDS MEET
NEEDS ANOTHER FIX BEFORE SHE COMES DOWN
SO MUCH GOING ON IN THIS CRAZY TOWN

A STREET CORNER MAN COMES TO CLEAN MY SHIELD
I`M STOPPED AT A CORNER WERE I HAD TO YIELD
SORRY THERE MISTER IT HAS TO BE FREE
YOU SEE WE`RE ALL APART OF THE INNER CITY TRAGEDY

SENATORS,CONGRESSMEN COPS ON THE TAKE
DIRTY POLITICANS DEAD GIRL AND A LAKE
OVERPAID SPORTS STARS GET AWAY WITH THE CRIME
WHILE OUTSIDE THE STADIUM A BUM BEGS FOR A DIME

CHORUS
INNER CITY,INNER CITY
INNER CITY,INNER CITY
TRAGEDY

HOLY PARISH PRIEST AND BOYS OF NINE
PRAYING FOR FORGIVENESS, LOOKING FOR A SIGN
DOWNTOWN HOOKERS,PRESIDENT LIE
BROKEN DOWN PALACE JUST A SIGN OF THE TIMES

LAWYERS,DOCTORS AND THEIR NEIBORS WIFE
TAX MAN PUSHING FOR A HIGER PRICE
NATIONAL GUARD LETS IT IN
THE COCAINE AND THE HEROIN

CHORUS
INNER CITY,INNER CITY
INNER CITY,INNER CITY
TRAGEDY

GUITAR SOLO
CHORUS
INNER CITY,INNER CITY
TRAGEDY
