Lyrics

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)
