So Much For The City

Verse 1
This city is just not for me
It was never filled with possibilities
Everywhere I go
Is a place I should have never been
Curiosity got the best of me
I won't look back
Homeless people walk up to me
They get in my face begging for money
They dirty up the streets
They don't want to get a job
Who the hell cares
Cause they'll soon no longer bother me

Verse 2
Dying is never a choice
But living life certainly is
So I choose to feel alive
For the rest of my days
And I will get a chance to
Only if I'm far, far away

Bridge
The soul of the city is colder than its winter season
Icicles pierced what was remaining of its barren heart
Snow has blocked its eyesight
The blind are leading everyone into eternal hibernation
That's why the Queen owns this nation

Chorus 1
So much for the city
That never was the place I thought it would be
Politicos and special interests rule
I'm escaping from the clutches of their stupidity
So much for the city

Chorus 2
So much for the city
That never was the place I thought it would be
Politicos and special interests rule
I'm escaping from the clutches of their stupidity
I refuse to live under this maddening authority
So much for the city

Chorus 3
So much for the city
That never was the place I thought it would be
Politicos and special interests rule
So much for the city
