[Lyric] City of Fear (FM (Canadian Band))

The night was fed to the local police
They ate it up and they spit out a receipt
... hungry boys

Two men approach a door behind a garage
A sign is given but a traitor gets in
... deeper now

The old boys nod and pour each other a drink
They've seen this scene go down once every week
... after the war

The city’s heart is buried away
To take the underground you still have to pay
... find out the cost

Here, beneath a city of fear
I have to look away
So that I won't see

I know you live or die by the rules
And take your medicine to doctor the school
... keep it down
I know my enemy, I know myself
I know the odds of finding any wealth
... anywhere

The old boys nod and they fade away
They don't have energy to get through the day
... so wait for the night

The trap is laid so deep underground
The honey’s sweet and the flies are all
... buzzing around

Here, within a city of fear
I have to look away
So that I won't see

The night was bled to the animal heat
It took a Cadillac to swallow the street
... suck it back

The dream was sold to a popular tune
As it was sampled by the right to consume
... power to spare

The old boys nod and give each other a wink
They wash their hands and they pocket the sink
... to personal gains
The city slept and it sheltered a child
He hit the street as the sun opened wide
... enter the day

Here, within a city of fear
I have to look away
So that I won't see

Here, beneath a city of fear
I have to get away
So that I can breathe
