Blue Cities

[Verse 1]
I said it just the other day, maybe it sounds small

When a nation starts to crumble and a city starts to fall

Look at all the blue cities spread across the map

Caught up in a cycle, falling in a trap

High crime, violent crime, rising through the skies

While quietly the other side stays safe before your eyes

[Chorus]
The streets are dirty, filthy and decayed

Look at what is happening, look at what they made

Storefronts are broken, you can smell it in the air

Disgusting and ruined everywhere you stare

Yeah, the streets are dirty, it’s all the same sad view

That’s the story told in every city blue

[Verse 2]
You walk into the capital, afraid of what you'll find

Graffiti on the landmarks that were built for all mankind

Look at the Supreme Court, columns proud and tall

Vandalized by bad folks writing on the wall

Our ballroom columns will be nicer, built to stand and shine

Instead of seeing beauty ruined line by line

[Chorus]
The streets are dirty, filthy and decayed

Look at what is happening, look at what they made

Storefronts are broken, you can smell it in the air

Disgusting and ruined everywhere you stare

Yeah, the streets are dirty, it’s all the same sad view

That’s the story told in every city blue

[Bridge]
People lying on the sidewalk, doing you-know-what

Every single neighborhood tied up in a knot

Two main things in common: the crime and the stain

And it isn’t gonna happen in our country again!

[Chorus]
The streets are dirty, filthy and decayed

Look at what is happening, look at what they made

Storefronts are broken, you can smell it in the air

Disgusting and ruined everywhere you stare

Yeah, the streets are dirty, everything's a loss

Everything about the place is dirty...

And their trees are all gross.
