Sick City Songtext
von Jake and the Stiffs

I′ll sing it again
Watch me

Restless people of a sick city
They burn their homes down to make the sky look pretty
"What can I do? I'm just a person"
This is the line that we always seem to hear
You just sit there and things get worse
And you watch TV and drink your beer


Walking all alone, not going anywhere
Walking all alone, nobody seems to care
Restless as the wind this town can be
Can I put an end to this restless misery?

You see, I′m just one of those people
Who can never seem to be
Satisfied with living in this sick old, sick old, sick old, sick city

It may be too late for me to say goodbye
It may be too late to watch this sick old city die
Down on the road, yeah, I'm gonna try
To say to this sick city, "So long, goodbye and die"
