Cities of Rust Lyrics by Cliffs of Capri

Glam-O-Rama

2023

Tell me
Why have to live this way
I see
Squalor and disdain for the coming day
What's new?
Nothing on the streets or in the city halls
In truth
Only thing that's changed is the fading of the paint on the walls
What do we do?
How do we alter fate?
Park Avenue
Shining in all its hate
Over these cities of rust
A promise unkept, chances at a better life
And when something on top combusts
Well...
Who, tell me who is gonna pay the dearest price then?
Show me
Someone who bеlieves in this place
I see
Obvious disdain on thе mayor's face
What's new?
Nothing on the books for a hundred years
In truth
They wanna fill the pot holes with blood and our fortitude with tears
What do we do, how do we alter fate?
What do we do, how do we bear the weight?
What do we do, how do we change the view?
What do we do, where are we going to?
Rise up, oh cities of rust
And show we deserve a choice in who and how love!
Oh, cites of rust, it's your time
Go tell the elites we're not dying in the streets no more!
