lyrics

Sewers overflow into the streets
Flowers of the city struggle to find
Life through the cracks of the concrete
And she’s got
4 kids she can’t feed
For years we been tryin to get clean
For years we been tryin to pick up the pieces
Of our broken lives

Little by little and crumb by crumb
Cant be this hard for everyone
But soon you and me will be happy
soon you and me will be happy
soon you and me will be happy
My heroin pretends

Baby’s cryin’ for his mother’s breast
But momma’s out sellin her body on the corner
Of 8th and somerset cause she needs
4 bags every day
For years it’s been goin this way
For years we have been like slaves
Stuck in the tar pits of Kensington

Little by little and suddenly
Now we are what you see
But soon you and me will be happy
soon you and me will be happy
soon you and me will be happy
My heroin pretends
