lyrics

Sorry For The City
Dave Gunning / Jamie Robinson – SOCAN

It’s 3 am and you’re still wide awake
Try as you might there’s no peace to make
They keep you up for no reason at all
And now your head is pounding like a wrecking ball and there’s
Traffic noise on busy streets
And you can’t even hear the willows weep
Sidewalk strangers never look you in the eye
They just walk on by
Sometimes I feel sorry for the city
And what you go through everyday
But when a million folks come calling I guess there’s not much you can say
Oh you must have been too nice to turn them away
Buildings lined up one by one
With thirty storeys blocking out the sun
Free range on a postage stamp
Crammed tight together like a refuge camp and you
Start to worry when the cracks show through
This hard living’s catching up to you
And you wonder how it ever came to this
And how you’ll get out of this mess
Sometimes I feel sorry for the city
What you go through everyday
But when a million people come calling yeah what are you gonna can say
Oh you were just too nice to turn them away
Oh you must have been too nice to turn them away
