Blue Cheer - Heart of the City Lyrics


Blue Cheer Lyrics

Heart of the City Lyrics
(Dr. Richard Peddicord)

My mama told me when I was born

She said the city is gonna be your soil

Raise all eight children

Work all your life

Pray you don't die by some stranger's knife.





You're living in the heart

Yeah, the heart of the city

Yeah!





We all live on that city floor

Winos, widows, hags, and whores

You butcher bankers and you millionaires

We all know what goes on down there.





You're living in the heart

Yeah, the heart of the city

You're living in the heart

Yeah, the heart of the city.





Things get tough, I just don't care

I let the night time take me anywhere

Yeah, take me anywhere, I don't care, no.





Things get rough, I just don't care

I let the night time take me anywhere

No, take me downtown, take me to the heart of the city, baby.





No, you tell in your cold slip

Your mind has snapped and your heart goes in

You know it's real and it ain't no shit

When you get down to the heart of it.





You're living in the heart

Yeah, the heart of the city

Yeah baby, go down to the heart

Yeah, the heart of the city

OW!

You're living in the heart

Yeah, the heart of the city

Straight from the heart

Straight from the heart of the cityyyyyyyy!
