Sin Of The City - Duran Duran

Coat check girl up in Happyland

has a violent row with a Cuban man

Julio leaves in a drunken rage

Comes back with the gasoline

The club has no fire exit

The club had no door

Only five people came out alive

The sin is that 89 died

89 dead

89 dead

89 dead

89 dead

The sin is that a year and a half

before the fire chief’s out

and he’s raising cain brands

Happyland hazzard close down but no.

No-one ever paid him no mind

City living heavy trouble

City living rough

We are given angry heart

But angers not enough

Daily News reviews of the landlords life

found six thousand code violations light.

The city has more a hundred thousand wars

all for one of Forbes’Four Hundred whores.

Just one fire cracker on a big bonfire

of self serving penny pinching wiseguy style.

Never allowing for the human condition.

The sin is that these guys survive.

City living heavy trouble

City living rough.

We are given angry heart

But anger’s not enough… rpt.

You’re using your people up.

Stop killing your people now.

Stop wasting your people now

Sin of the City.
