Tribe One - Gotham City God Damn (All Star) lyrics

[Verse 1: Tribe One] There's a war going on outside No one is safe from And it's a fight for survival from day one You can try and you might save some But this city's stains won't wash away when the rains come We got the mob and odds with cops' squadrons Folks who lost it all and snobs with stock options And maybe every city's got problems But if it's not rock bottom it's not Gotham The average citizen is traveling The path of least resistance Happily oblivious to tragedies and victims They have to be; they have to feed Their families and children And practice apathy when rays of casualties arisen Psychopaths will Perpetrate our ma**acres and k**ings Escaping Arkham Breaking out of Black Gate prison Police are understaffed Trying, capturing the villains Just to slap 'em on the wrist And spit 'em back into the system [Hook] Metropolis got me so upset And Keystone City made me lose my rest But, everybody knows about Gotham city God damn Blüdhaven got me so upset And Star City made me lose my rest But, everybody knows about Gotham City God damn [Verse 2: Tribe One] There's blood on the streets and the streets are the veins Running red as the leaves when the seasons change And the pulse isn't just a heart beat; It's a bang When the people smile They show sharp teeth and fangs With a lung full of laughing gas and fear toxins Venom flower blossoms and crime bible doctrine Yeah maybe every city's got problems But if it's not rock bottom, it's not Gotham We don't have a guardian from another planet Understand that this city would rip him into shreds And we don't have mystical witches that study magic What we have are average men and women driven to the edge Something happens and they snap And turn from honest into evil Instead of getting justice they're living for revenge And some of them are monsters But all of them are people but so are the heroes Who have a city to defend [Hook] Metropolis got me so upset And Cove[?] City made me lose my rest But, everybody knows about Gotham City God damn Central City got me so upset And Opal City made me lose my rest But, everybody knows about Gotham City God damn
