David Byrne - Dirty Old Town слова песни
Well, there are sixteen people in dannys apartmentSixteen people are living in thereRemember the days of rent controlGrandpa remembers rock and rollThese days wont last foreverThese days wont last for longYou know, somebody somewhere owes us a favorThats how things really get doneIn this world of opportunities, its a land of possibilitiesWe wanna live in a dirty old townBuilding it up, tearing us downWith our head in the clouds and our feet on the groundWe wanna live - dirty old townDirty old townNow when the ladies come from kansasThey wear their traditional colorsToday the fabrics are ragged and tornThe clothes on their backs is all that they ownThey say, "dont draw attention to yourselfTheyll tear you apart for a couple of bucksKeep you head down and keep you nose cleancause people whore scared do dangerous things"These days cant last foreverThese days cant last for longYou know someday thingsll get betterSomehow thingsll get doneIn this world of possibilities, its the land of opportunitiesWe wanna live in a dirty old townBuilding it up, tearing us downWith our head in the clouds and our feet on the groundWe wanna live - dirty old townDirty old townThese days shoes are worn only on special occasionsBattles are fought for famly and nationsMaybe youll pray, but God isnt homeAnd theres no guarantee that justice be doneWe wanna live in a dirty old townBuilding it up, tearing us downWith our head in the clouds and our feet on the groundWe wanna live - dirty old townDirty old town
