Less Than Jake Does The Lion City Still Roar? Lyrics

Does The Lion City Still Roar? Lyrics

I’ll keep my faith alive

Cause this is paradise or parricide

I can’t
believe this sight

Streets full of blank faces and junky eyes

The
streets won’t sleep tonight

A lullaby for the half-alive

The city
swings and whines

To the double crime of drugs and hard times



Lion city sirens sing the night away, night away

Lion city sirens sing
the night away

The city feels like a cage

Feels like a powder
keg

That’s almost set to explode



Lion city’s begun to
rot

It’s a matter of time until the roaring stops

The scene from
the ground up

From the painted walls to the rooftops

My city’s
closed and locked

While the hop of the beat crack our sidewalks

The
haves and the have-nots

Paint the backdrops of drugs and gunshots



lion city sirens sing the night away, night away

Lion city
sirens sing the night away

There’s an overdose on me

And he does
the cocaine shake

Cause the lion city sirens sing the night away



The city seems like it’s trapped

Between its future and its
past

Life or death of a city not coming back

The city feels like a
cage

Feels like a powder keg

And now it’s gonna explode



Lion city sirens sing the night away, night away

Lion city sirens sing
the night away

There’s an overdose on me

And it’s wearing out good
things

Cause lion city sirens sing the night away

Sing the night
away

Sing the night away

And I won’t be long
