Ya stayed to play
So ya rolled the dice
Somebody's gotta lose gotta get it right
Wired out get ripped and sliced
Ya gotta watch your back or you'll
Pay the price, yeah, oh, yeah

Cause you don't die with dignity
Not here not anywhere
Lie bleedin' on the sidewalk man
And you know nobody cares
Can ya see, oh

There's blood across the tie dyed skies
See the world through different eyes
It's been cummin' for a long long time
Agony across the city
City of lies

I've been starin' into nothin'
Hopin' somebody might be there
Just to see a million people
Who never really cared
Looks real down behind the ghetto wall
Stoned eyes shine like windows

There's blood across the tie dyed skies
See the world through different eyes
It's been cummin' for a long long time
Agony across the city
City of lies

I can't pretend
I can sit right back
Put my feet up thinking
There ain't no one stick
A knife in my back

This ain't no perfect world
no perfect place
Ain't no one got a perfect face
And that includes me

Gotta face the truth
Gotta realize no one lives on alibis
Not me not you not him

See the youth while on the rage
It's time we turn a different page
And try

There's blood across the tie dyed skies
See the world through different eyes
It's been cummin' for a long long time
Agony across the city

There's blood across the tie dyed skies
See the world through different eyes
It's been cummin' for a long long time
Agony across the city
The city of lies
