lyrics

Cruel City
(written by Stewart Cunningham)

Have you ever seen the sun shine clear like this, I have no pity
The rats like to hide when it’s all so bright
But I have seen what’s really inside
Have you ever seen the night sky clear and cool
It hides a cruel city
Cruel city can you look at me
You wanna know the truth it can set you free
Well come and see me

I’ll tell you ….It’s a cruel city, cruel cruel city

You tried so hard to get a break in this place
You get nothing then they spit in your face
You spend your whole life living here
and now you may as well be living in outer space
Two faced people who don’t really care
There’s no honour in Tarrawanna
Don’t fall for the cruel cruel city
You’re coming last in the human race
You’re coming last!

I survive your demise
I survive and your decline
Is the price for your crime
I survive, I will survive
Your decline…. your demise

It hasn’t always been this way
Poison in the heart and a vacuum in the brain
I’m here to tell you that it’s a tricky game
Keep your wits about you or you’ll end up in the drain
Cruel city, it’s just the same
They wanna see you fail they like it that way
Cruel city is a twisted place
Cruel city is a fuckin shame
Now you wanna runaway

"Every song on ’Silver & Black is a winner, each rich with colour and diversity. It stands as the Leadfinger magnum opus - and it should rightfully open new doors for the band."
