<b>Does The Lion City Still Roar?</b> by <i>Less Than Jake</i><br />'ll keep my faith alive

Cause this is paradise for parasites

I can't believe my eyes

Streets full of blank faces and junkie eyes

The streets won't sleep tonight

A lullaby for the half alive

The city swings and whines

To the double crime of drugs and hard times

Lion city's sirens sing the night away, night away

Lion city's sirens sing the night away

The city feels like a cage

Feels like a powder keg

That's almost set to explode

Lion city's begun to rot

It's a matter of time until the roaring stops

The scene from the ground up

From the painted walls to the rooftops

Lion city's closed and locked

While the pop of feet crack on sidewalks

The haves and the have-nots

Fade to backdrops of drums and gunshots

Lion city's sirens sing the night away, night away

Lion city's sirens sing the night away

There's an overdose on 8th

And he does the cocaine shake

Cause the lion city's sirens sing the night away

The city seems like it's trapped

Between it's future and it's past

Life or death of a city not coming back

The city feels like a cage

Feels like a powder keg

And now it's gonna explode

Lion city's sirens sing the night away, night away

Lion city's sirens sing the night away

There's an overdose on 8th

And he's wearing a blue face

Cause lion city's sirens sing the night away

Sing the night away

Sing the night away

And I won't be long
