Broken City Songtext
von Audioslave

My city sleeps by the side of the freeway
The city scraps
In the winter time, she wore a yellow coat
Now there′s nothin' on her back
If a building falls, you wouldn′t care to notice
Unless you were in it
And no one cares about climbin' stairs
Nothin' at the top no more

Outside trippin′ in the broken city
Outside trippin′ in the broken city
I watch her bleed and crack
Outside trippin' in the broken city
Outside kicking in the broken city
There′s nothin' wrong with that

(Do do do)
(Do do do do)
(Do do do do)
(Do do do do)


Now the snow falls down like it′s fallin' on an ocean
Dead and empty
By the railroad tracks where they used to go and come
Now they don′t come back
You can hear the rust goin' up the throughways
Down the alleys
Where they stole this town from the frontier
I can see him tryin' to steal it back

Outside trippin′ in the broken city
(Outside trippin′ in the broken city)
Outside trippin' in the broken city
I watch her bleed and crack
Outside kicking in the broken city
(Outside trippin′ in the broken city)
Outside trippin' in the broken city
But nothin′ wrong with that

(Do do do)
(Do do do do)
(Do do do do)
(Do do do do)

(Do do do do)
(Do do do do)
(Do do do do)
(Do do do do)


Now the sun won't shine on this part of the map
Anymore
When it′s cold outside
I see it hide behind the smoke stacks, nothing grows
There's no goldrush, no miners
No revolution behind her
And the shipyard is a graveyard
No one will be trying to find her

Outside trippin' in the broken city
(Outside trippin′ in the broken city)
Outside kicking in the broken city
I watch her bleed and crack
Outside trippin′ in the broken city
(Outside trippin' in the broken city)
Outside kicking in the broken city
There′s nothin' wrong with that

(Do do do)
(Do do do do)
But nothin′ wrong with that
(Do do do do)
Outside trippin' in the broken city
(Do do do do)
(Do do do do)
(Do do do do)
Hey outside trippin′ in the broken city
(Do do do do)
(Do do do do)
Outside trippin' in the broken city
(Do do do do)
Outside, outside, outside, outside, outside, outside, outside
