Broken City

Have mercy on this broken city home I'm doin' time—time in this crazy place I've been here so long I gotta get away I got rats in the kitchen rippin' up the trash Cold wind blowin' down my back straight through shattered glass Strangers in the hallways turn your face to stone People call this living hell I call this Broken City home My sweet home Broken City livin' my sweet home There's a hole in my pocket where my money used to be Landlord knockin' at my door I'm back out on the street Crime and aggravation don't go out alone People call this living hell I call this Broken City home My sweet home Broken City livin' my sweet home My sweet home Broken City livin' my sweet home It feels like I'm doin' time Street lights shinin' through my window The only light I've ever known in my Broken City home My sweet home Broken City livin’ my sweet home My sweet home Broken City livin' my sweet home
