Lyrics:
the city lights shine from afar
they blind the naïve to the endless scars
the skyline's glow masks the stench of shit
and you're dead center in the middle of it

babies born into a stacked rat race
people pleading, as others take
sirens wail and children cry
music masks the screams as the faceless die

THE SCUM of the city
overcrowded, no room to breathe
THE SCUM of the city
you've been trampled, no time to bleed
THE SCUM of the city
know your limits, don't over-reach
THE SCUM of the city
1 way in, 2 ways to leave

ducking bullets and dodging pigs
nickeled and dimed over everything
money rules the streets and the ivory towers
in a vicious whirlwind of greed and power

like rats crawling from sewer drains
people clawing, just to make their way
some give up, some exist between
come to the city aNd LiVe Out YoUr DrEaMs

THE SCUM of the city
overcrowded, no room to breathe
THE SCUM of the city
you've been trampled, no time to bleed
THE SCUM of the city
know your limits, don't over-reach
THE SCUM of the city
1 way in, 2 ways to leave

THE scum etc...
