City of Hate

By Jim Ittenbach 1979
From the forthcoming CD "Come Back, My Paradise"




Broken glass shines like diamonds in the garden of anger tonight
Streetlights cast illusion on the destruction that was left behind
Claustrophobia rising as fast as concrete and steel
They blocked out all the sunshine. What a deal!

Tensions are mounting and the morals they fade away
Anger has risen, now someone's gonna pay
His voice is still crackin', yet he's packin' heat
But that's how they do it on the streets

In the city, In the city, in the city of Hate
In the city, In the city, in the city of Hate

The ending is coming and all the world's insane
Looks like what we got here is the fall of Babylon again
When Jesus comes, you know I'm gonna leave
You can come too, if you just believe

In the city, In the city, in the city of Hate
In the city, In the city, in the city of Hate
