Sin of the City
Duran Duran

Coat check girl up in Happyland
Has a violent row with a Cuban man
Julio leaves in a drunken rage -
Comes back with the gasoline
The club has no fire exit
The club only had one door
Only five people came out alive
The sin is that 89 died

89 dead! 89 dead! 89 dead! 89 dead!

The sin is that a year and a half before
The fire chief's out and he's raising cain
Brands Happyland hazzard close down but no.
No-one ever paid him no mind..

No-one ever paid him no mind..
No-one ever paid him no mind..
No-one ever paid him no mind..
No-one ever paid him no mind..

City living, heavy trouble
City living rough
We are given angry heart
But angers not enough

(chorus)

Daily News reviews of the landlords life
Found six thousand code ciolations light.
The city has more a hundred thousand wars
All for one of Forbes' four hundred whores.

Just one fire cracker on a big bondfire
Of self serving penny pinching wiseguy style.

Never allowing for the human condition. (hayyyeah)
Never allowing for the human condition. (hayyyeah)
Never allowing for the numen condition.
The sin is that these guys survive.

(chorus) (chorus)

-

The sin of the city yehh (chorus)
Stop killing your people now.
Stop wasting your people now. (chorus)
Your jacking your people off

Sin of the City, yehh (chorus)
Stop killing you're people how.
You're wasting you're people yeahh. (chorus)
