Tekst piosenki
The gangster came to see by boy
When I was working nights to pay one more bill
He promised the kid a sweeter life
Said, „Gotta understand it’s dog eat dog out there”
Well I looked in his room when I got home
And underneath the covers found a loaded gun
He looked at me with empty eyes
He said, „It’s time for me to be moving on”
Dirty city, this is a dirty town
Where’s the pity, I can’t move on up to higher ground
I spoke to my woman the other day
She said, „I need more cash we can’t pay our way”
She said, „Everything gets really hard
And I need something sweet, don’t you understand?”
The roar of the train runs by my room
And on these summer nights I can’t sleep anymore
I walk in the streets to greet the dawn
Or stay at home all night and stare at the floor
Dirty city, this is a dirty town
Where’s the pity, I can’t move on up to higher ground
Dirty city, this is a dirty town
Where’s the pity, I can’t move on up to higher ground
Help me now
Move on to a higher ground
Help somehow
Make a move to a higher ground
Won’t you help somehow
Make a move to a higher ground
Won’t you help somehow
I need a little help…
Dirty city, this is a dirty town
Where’s the pity, I can’t move on up to higher ground…
