Big City Lyrics

Big City lyrics

Sun sinking deep, fires burning down

Hard to see the moon, when the smoke
is all around

I live in a big city

And they tell me we are free

I hear babies cryin'

There'll be killing in these streets



How many heartaches, how many years of pain

Just how many funerals,
before the streets be safe again

I live in a big city

And they tell
me we are free

I hear babies cryin'

There'll be killing in these
streets



(guitar solo)



Evening sun going down, police
using his billy stick

When the blood start to flowin', and it'll be
flowin' till the mornin' come again

I live in a big city

And they
tell me that we are free

Now I hear these babies cryin'

Do you know
what that's doin' to me?

Lord it's tearin' my heart apart
