Lyrics

It's way too hot to talk in here
It's getting hard to breathe
With this poisonous vapor
Wafting through the trees
There are bad things in the countryside
And worse things in the town
'Til mother revolution
Brings this whole thing down

We'll never get out of
Never get out of
Never get out of
This city alive

The senator in Gucci
Has lost his will to think
He lights another cigarette
And pours another drink
And gestures to the boys in blue
Swaying to the beat
Of pepper spray and cyanide
Rising from the street

We'll never get out of
Never get out of
Never get out of
This city alive

The waitress with the spray tan
Says who are we to fight?
The men you say you're looking for
Will kill you in the night
You're just another mother's boy
Ungrateful for the dance
So spare me all your fighting words
You'll never get a chance

We'll never get out of
Never get out of
Never get out of
This city alive
