A City Of Sin
A City of sin
when will thou go clean
a foolish society
in an archaic city
full of vanity
a city without conscience
full of violence
greediness and selfishness
why should there be a city
without justice and fairness
the rich over the poor
blood do they devour
life becomes sore
her daughters are whore
how can there exist
such a city
if goodness is banish
then we are all finish
why won't they perish
in this city they cherish
