Block City
Is killing me
I do not fit in here
Can't spend another year
in Block City

Block City
Is stifling me
I cannot be myself
Get left up on the shelf
in Block City

Everyone tells me to lower my head
Think of my work and bear down
But I don't want to be stupid and dead
And never get out of this square square town. Oooo.

Block City,
My fantasy
Is you burn down to the ground
You're so tightly wound
When I am unbound
Maybe then I'll see you 'round
in Block City

[Hoblit]

<b>BLOCK CITY</b>
<i>lyrics by: Hoblit</i>

searching the city block by block
to satisfy my ticking clock
feel like the time is getting away
the closer I get to the bay

walking the city block by block
ignoring the constant ticky ticky ticky tock
hoping there is still some time left
but it's all been taken by theft


Breaking the vein
from the strain
seems like only way

Need to appear
to have no fear
whenever I get my say

come to hi-jack
fight and attack
I can not hold back the rage

The time is now
The time is now
we can't wait another day


I feel hopelessness
and I feel emptyness
and I feel frustration
and I feel Isolation
am I the only one?


Destroying the city block by block
with every coctail, with every rock
The chaos is heaven insurgence hell
there will be stories to tell

watching it burn block by block
at every port and every dock
feeling insane from the adrenaline shot
as we give it all we got

Block City
by Luke Henley

We had our love, plus you loved he, so our love was in 3D.
In Block City.
I loved each of your four sides, but there were more faces on the side.
In Block City.

You know I never had a brain for geometry.
You never had a heart for you and me.
And that's ok, this street has plenty of fast cars
that I can be inside when they go up in flames.

I didn't know, you made me guess, just which face was the best.
It wasn't me. How could it be?
I gambled all my wealth away, in this big town it only took a day.
In Block City.

Chorus

It's all ok, I moved next door, where a nice cone runs the groc'ry store.
Have a nice day, he'll always say.
I forgave you, that's all I've got, but I still hope that you rot.
In Block City.

Block City by Mike Livesley/Gareth Duncan

We all live in this city made of tiny blocks
Take a ride it don't look pretty, feel that deep down rot
The brainless kids they all sell crazy, but we are all stocked up
Keep your head down son amaze me - don't let them fuck you up

Our Block City sleeps all day but at night-time we're awake
From the old town bent cop shop we've been making money
To Fix what we ain't got.

Billy says one day he'll save me, but the Nurse she don't like that
McMurphy fights but there's no end see, they'll always beat you back
We're all mice in this maze, dreaming of the cheese
My memory it must be hazy, 'cos I've forgotten what it is to be free

Our Block City sleeps all day but at night-time we're awake
From the old town bent cop shop we've been making money
To Fix what we ain't
Block City sleeps all day but at night-time we're awake
From the old town bent cop shop we've been making money
To Fix what we ain't got.

block city
the city of cages
block city
the city of dust
block city
the city of nightmares
of the neighbors that scream as they crawl
into the aether

block city
the city of moonbeams
block city
the city of light
block city
the country of sunspots
of the shadows that crawl like leaves that fall in the night.
