Broken City
Audioslave

My city sleeps by the side of a freeway

The city scraps

And winter time she wore a yellow coat

Now there's nothin' on her back


If a building falls you wouldn't care to notice

Unless you were in it

Then no one cares about climbin' stairs

Nothin' at the top no more


Outside trippin' in the broken city

Outside trippin' in the broken city

I watch a millionaire crack


Outside trippin' in the broken city

Outside kickin' in the broken city

There's nothin' wrong with that


Now the snow falls down like it's fallin' on an ocean

Dead and empty by the railroad tracks

Where they used to go and come

Now they don't come back


You can kill the rust, goin' up the through ways

Down the alleys

Where they stole this town from the frontier

I can see 'em tryin' to steal it back


Outside trippin' in the broken city

(Outside trippin' in the broken city)

Outside trippin' in the broken city

I watch a millionaire crack


Outside kickin' in the broken city

(Outside trippin' in the broken city)

Outside trippin' in the broken city

Nothin' wrong with that


Now the sun won't shine

On this part of the map anymore

When it's cold outside

I see it hide behind the smokestacks


No thin roses, no goldrush

No miner, no revolution they'd hire

And the shipyard is a graveyard

No one will be trying to find him


Outside trippin' in the broken city

(Outside trippin' in the broken city)

Outside kickin' in the broken city

I watch a millionaire crack


Outside trippin' in the broken city

(Outside trippin' in the broken city)

Outside kickin' in the broken city

There's nothin' wrong with that


Nothin' wrong with that

Outside trippin' in the broken city, yeah

Hey, outside trippin' in the broken city

Hey, outside trippin' in the broken city

Outside, outside, outside, outside, outside, outside, outside
