Tom: G5

Intro: G5 A5 C5 (Twice)  

G5                           A5 
People say it doesn't exist 
                                 C5 
'Cause no one would like to admit 
                             G5 
That there is a city underground 
                           A5 
Where people live everyday  
                        C5 
Off the waste and decay 
                                  G5 
Off the discards of their fellow man 

CHORUS: 
G5                           A5 C5 
Here in subcity life is hard 
G5                      A5           D5 
We can't receive any government relief 
                   G5                       A5      C5 
I'd like to please give Mr. President my honest regards 
           D5     G5 
For disregarding me 

They say there's too much crime in these city streets 

My sentiments exactly 

Government and big business hold the purse strings 

When I worked I worked in the factories 

I'm at the mercy of the world 

I guess I'm lucky to be alive 
                     A5 
They say we've fallen through the cracks 
G5 
They say the system works 

But we won't let it 
 C5 
Help 

I guess they never stop to think 
    G5 
We might not just want handouts 
                              A5 
But a way to make an honest living 
                    G5 
Living this ain't living 
What did I do deserve this 
Had my trust in god 
Worked everyday of my life 
Thought I had some guarantees 
That's what I thought 
At least that's what I thought 
Last night I had another restless sleep 
Wondering what tomorrow might bring 
Last night I dreamed 
A cold blue light was shining down on me 
I screamed myself awake 
Thought I must be dying 
Thought I must be dying
