Pegz - Burn City (ft. Kye) Lyrics
[Verse 1:]They say life's not worth living in Burn CityWork 40 hours a week until you turn 60Earn fifty grand a year, debt for eternityNo sleep, no rest is a certaintyWe choose to adhere, persuing careersLike border men on parades, the brute with sincereLosing our rights, using our fearsBurn City - one day I'll be moving from hereGoing back to the cave, the embrionic stageBefore the, black clouds and atomic rainBefore the, black wave on Boxing DayBefore the, man-made economic plagueBurn City lost her way, she's not the sameShe forgot about the streets we populateSo we compensate in a lot of ways and intoxicate ourselves to stop the pain[Chorus: Pegz and Kye (Kye)](Burn City)What happened to the passion we had, I know you like the back of my hand(Burn City)I told you I'd be packing my bags if you ever turned your back on my fam(Burn City)That's the sound of an angry crowd singing"BURN THIS ***** TO THE GROUND! "(Burn, burn, burn, Burn City)[Verse 2]Yeah, I see bluecollars sweating, their families stressingI see, whitecollars on anti-depressantsI see, unemployed looking anxiously recklessEverybody's tryna manage gravities pressuresHas the standard of living gradually risen, we're likeBattery hens - mechanically drivenAnd it's hard to explain like humanities visionAnd who's to blame for the planets conditionEveryday another chapter is written with passionate lyricsAnother character witness is tragically missingAnother young kid's landed in prisonWe all slip through the cracks and abandon the systemBurn City, you don't own the streetsWe closed our minds and postponed our dreamsYou sold us out and promoted greed but you won't defeat my people's only beef[Chorus][Verse 3]We lose confidence glued to computer monitorsWorld's apart within a few kilometresAnonymous expats drifting through the metropolisClose my eyes and vision a new apocalypseRevenge of the everyday folk, burn down the city and regenerate growthWatch the flames rise like the end of WacoSkyscrapers fall in a breath of grey smokeWhat happened to the corner stone, you don't celebrate or support your own?There's no tolerance to those who walk belowBurn City - the city that I call my home[Chorus][Vocals: Kye]Well I made it this far, built it all from scratchWhen all things were looking bad, yo I needed to step backSo I gripped all my senses and I pushed on throughAnd I got out of that mess, and I saw the light
