Eddie Garcia - Ghetto Defendant lyrics

[Ginsberg] Starved in metropolis Hooked on necropolis Addict of metropolis Do the worm on the accropolis Slamdance the cosmopolis Enlighten the populace [Verse 1: Strummer] Hungry darkness of living Who will thirst in the pit? (Hooked in metropolis) She spent a lifetime deciding How to run from it (Addicts of metropolis) Once fate had a witness And the years seemed like friends (Girlfriends) Now her child has a dream But it begins like it ends [Ginsberg] Shot into eternity Methadone kitty Iron serenity [Chorus] Ghetto defendant It is h**n pity Not tear gas nor baton charge That stops you taking the city (Strung out committee) Walled out of the city Clubbed down from uptown Sprayed pest from the nest Run out to barrio town (The guards are itchy) Forced to watch at the feast Then sweep up the night Flipped pieces of coin (Broken bottles) Exchanged for birthright [Chorus] Ghetto defendant it is h**n pity (Strung out committee) Not tear gas nor baton charge That stops you taking the city (Not sitting pretty) (Grafted in a jiffy) Not tear gas nor baton charge That stops you taking the city The ghetto prince of gutter poets Was bounced out of the room (Jean Arthur Rimbaud) By the bodyguards of greed For disturbing the tomb (1873) His words like flamethrowers (Paris commune) Burnt the ghettos in their chests His face was painted whiter And he was laid to rest (Died in Marseille) Ghetto defendant it is h**n pity (Buried in Charleville) Not tear gas nor baton charge That stops you taking the city (Shut up in etenity) [Ginsberg] Guatemala Honduras Poland 100 years war TV re-run invasion d**h squad Salvador Afghanistan Meditation Old Chinese flu Kick junk What else Can a poor worker do? [Chorus] [Ginsberg chanting]
