There's a young man with dirt on his hands
There's a room of sweat, full on one night stands
A life of regret in a rock and roll band
There's a whole lot of debt and a pocket full of sand
There's a sick mother, can't find her lost son
And there's a father who didn't know he had one run down caddy
In The neighbors backyard
Where the kid got shot and it all fell apart
Just another day in the city life
Just another day where we live or die
We're all praying through the smoke filled sky
Just another day in the city life
There's a law man and he's losing his touch
Trapped a loose cannon says he won't lose much
A prospect picked and he's earning his patch
Dealt a dirty deed and it's paid for in cash
The pressure's so thick you forget how the breathe
Gotta get drunk just to blow off some steam
So many lights but we're kept in the dark
Yeah, they can take it all but we still got heart
Just another day in the city life
Just another day where we live or die
We're all praying through the smoke filled sky
Just another day in the city life
There's no need to be nervous
We're born to fight
Sons and daughter we can
Take it outside
Follow the lead, lead me to water
Do what it takes then take it from me
When there ain't nothing left
You can read me my rights
Carry the load in the city life
Just another day in the city life
Just another day where we live or die
We're all praying through the smoke filled sky
Just another day in the city life
Just another day in the city life
Just another day where we live or die
We're all praying through the smoke filled sky
Just another day in the city life
