Less Than Jake - Does the Lion City Still Roar? Lyrics

Ill keep my faith alive
Cause this is paradise or parricide
I cant believe this sight
Streets full of blank faces and junky eyes
The streets wont sleep tonight
A lullaby for the half-alive
The city swings and whines
To the double crime of drugs and hard times

Lion city sirens sing the night away, night away
Lion city sirens sing the night away
The city feels like a cage
Feels like a powder keg
Thats almost set to explode

Lion citys begun to rot
Its a matter of time until the roaring stops
The scene from the ground up
From the painted walls to the rooftops
My citys closed and locked
While the hop of the beat crack our sidewalks
The haves and the have-nots
Paint the backdrops of drugs and gunshots

lion city sirens sing the night away, night away
Lion city sirens sing the night away
Theres an overdose on me
And he does the cocaine shake
Cause the lion city sirens sing the night away

The city seems like its trapped
Between its future and its past
Life or death of a city not coming back
The city feels like a cage
Feels like a powder keg
And now its gonna explode

Lion city sirens sing the night away, night away
Lion city sirens sing the night away
Theres an overdose on me
And its wearing out good things
Cause lion city sirens sing the night away
Sing the night away
Sing the night away
And I wont be long
