People say it doesn't exist
 
 'cause no one would like to admit
 
 That there is a city underground
 
 Where people live everyday
 
 Off the waste and decay
 
 Off the discards of their fellow man
 
 Here in subcity life is hard
 
 We can't receive any government relief
 
 I'd like to please give mr president my honest regards
 
 For disregarding me
 
  
  They say there's too much crime in these city streets
 
 My sentiments exactly
 
 Government and big business hold the purse strings
 
 When I worked I worked in the factories
 
 I'm at the mercy of the world
 
 I guess I'm lucky to be alive
  
 
 They say we've fallen through the cracks
 
 They say the system works
 
 But we won't let it
 
 Help
 
 I guess they never stop to think
 
 We might not just want handouts
 
 But a way to make an honest living
 
 Living this ain't living
  
 
 What did I do deserve this
 
 Had my trust in god
 
 Worked everyday of my life
 
 Thought I had some guarantees
 
 That's what I thought
 
 At least that's what I thought
  
 
 Last night I had another restless sleep
 
 Wondering what tomorrow might bring
 
 Last night I dreamed
 
 A cold blue light was shining down on me
 
 I screamed myself awake
 
 Thought I must be dying
 
 Thought I must be dying
