Scumbag City Songtext
von The Strypes

There′s empty cans all in the street, scumbag city blues
Sunday morning's indiscreet, Saturday left clues
Last night′s claps and filthy slaps need oh no excuse
Are you cutting out or holding back?
A loophole or a noose?

Get me out, oh, get me out
'Cause I'm here to bruise
Oh, get me out, oh, get me out of this scumbag city

Scumbag city blues, scumbag city blues
Scumbag city blues, scumbag city blues

Just another howling wolf on the killing floor below
Oh, no lie, you′ll find in the first line, I should′ve quit you long ago
All those angel eyes with the red neck ties wanna see me fall on my face
And no lie, you'll find I despise everything about this place


Get me out, oh, get me out
′Cause I'm here to bruise
Oh, get me out, oh, get me out of this Scumbag city

Scumbag city blues, scumbag city blues
Scumbag city blues, scumbag city blues

And when you′re lying in your hotel
Thinking that you could do this with that
Well, something creeps inside you, yeah, honey, oh, something pulls you back
But it ain't the one way system that′s got you, uh, coming back around, no
It's all those friends and family keeping those size eights on the ground

There's empty cans all in the street, scumbag city blues
Sunday morning feels complete when I get back to you
I can′t skip that hit-and-miss that I′d never choose
'Cause even though I take the piss, I′m glad the future's blue


Scumbag city blues, scumbag city blues
Scumbag city blues, scumbag city blues
Scumbag city blues, scumbag city blues
Scumbag city blues, scumbag city blues
Scumbag city blues, scumbag city blues
Scumbag city blues, scumbag city blues
