Dirty City Lyrics


Sutherland Brothers & Quiver Dirty City

The story of my life was such
Nobody wanted to hear
And every time I told it
They put their hands across their ears

So I went down to the dirty city
Where the people live on dreams
And I sang out on the corner
Trying to turn the heads of kings and queens

Yeah, I sang ooh
I sang ooh
I sang ooh to the dirty city
Then I noticed the back of a matchbox
And it didn't make much sense at all
It said people heading to the stars
Get a better chance to fall

I thought that's no good to you and me
We got so far to go
Then I realized though truth is free
It's only the lies that show

Yeah, I sang ooh
I sang ooh
I sang ooh to the dirty city

Some people work hard for all their lives
And never get a thing
Some people seem to do nothing
But have all that life can bring

Well, you and I, we've been working so hard
Trying to get somewhere
Oh, but maybe when we do that
We find we really, really didn't care

Yeah, we sang ooh
We sang ooh
We sang ooh to the dirty city
We sang ooh
We sang ooh
We sang ooh
