A man flails in the gutter
As floating poisonous fog it flutters
Rats covort in parks
Don’t go there after dark
To and fro all stuffed in tubes
Queues wind on they’re fucking huge
Sell a kidney to pay rent
Your neighbor screams for days on end
Give a hand, give a hand
If you can you give a hand
I’ll drag you through it gets better
Don’t let it grind you down
We’ll beat this town, we’ll tough it out
We’ll beat this town, we’ll tough it out
I know its brutal round here
But its home
When you cross a busy road
The cars they do not slow down
To a speed that’s safe
Do they see us now
People smell each others problems
They see each others sins
Its not that hard to give a smile
Or find a fuck to give
Keep your friends close
And strangers even closer
I know it sounds cliché
Were all in this together
Keep your friends close
And strangers even closer
I know it sounds cliché
Were all in this together
Give a hand, give a hand
If you can you give a hand
I’ll drag you through it gets better
Don’t let it grind you down
We’ll beat this town, we’ll tough it out
We’ll beat this town, we’ll tough it out
I know its brutal round here
But its home
