The City

My city's lost its soul
clleyway and catacombs
This city now silicone
Once was flesh and bone
Dying city, dying streets
Well-lit alleys and cotton sheets
Broken system, privileged few
Pushing out
Me and you
The city that I loved has slipped away
Sank like the Bismarck
To the bottom of the Bay
It's clear with passing of time
The city that I loved
Was never mine
Techno zombies
Stare into their phones
Pricing out natives
Everywhere they go
Down in the Mission, the Low-Lows are gone
Shops are closing, others ain't got long
The city that I loved has slipped away
Sank like the Bismarck
To the bottom of the Bay
It's clear with passing of time
The city that I loved
Was never mine
High on the hill
Pacific Heights
cnother foggy San Francisco night
Staring out at all those city lights
You're looking down on
cll our shitty lives
The city that I loved has slipped away
Sank like the Bismarck
To the bottom of the Bay
It's clear with passing of time
The city that I loved
Was never mine
The city that I loved has slipped away
Sank like the Bismarck
To the bottom of the Bay
It's clear with passing of time
The city that I loved
Was never mine
