Life In The City lyrics

I picked up my head I hang it out the window Listen to my world Seems so far away Feelin' isolation I'm the one who feels the pain Send me a card Or drop a line Down in the streets, I can't believe These rapes and murders I got to see I try to hide it Hide it from my mind Why am I tryin' to be so blind So tell me How can you beat life in the city Maybe tomorrow it will hit me The world will always Be with sorrow I got to believe There's a better way I let time pass Right trough my hands Why can't I just stand And be a man This pain and heartache It bites trough my bones And I know I'm not The only one alone
