Intro:
- - - - - - - - (I) x2
Verse I:
Down on the streets & the wind was blowing hard
And Cardboard City was growing yard by yard
Well the people had it bad, there lives had gone sour
They had been swept aside like dirt because others hungered for power
Chorus:
- - - - - - - -
Going down
- - - -
To Cardboard City I m going down
- - - -
Ta Cardboard City Down & out
- - - -
In Cardboard City
Verse II:
What you have to understand is that they are human as well
They are living flesh & blood there not just lost souls from hell
They don t wanna be in big boxes, in an impoverishment
You need some cash to get a place & you need a place to get a job
*Repeat Chorus*
Verse III:
Its a vicious circle & you cannot just bail out
You cannot worry for about a job cause you need food in your mouth
Just surviving day to day is about the the hardest thing
You d get fond of the bottle if you can try to forget everything
**Repeat Chorus**
Outro:
