Hungry darkness of living
Dm       Em
Who will thirst in the pit?
 Am
(Hooked in metropolis)
C                          Am
She spent a lifetime deciding
Dm     Em        C
How to run from it
 Am
(Addicts of metropolis)
C    Am         C      Am
Once fate had a witness
Dm      Em                C
And the years seemed like friends
 Am
(Girlfriends)
C
Now her child has a dream
Dm       Em           C    Am
But it begins like it ends
 Am               C Am Dm

C      Am
Ghetto defendant
Dm    Em     C    Am
It is heroin pity
C                Am
Not tear gas nor baton charge
Dm             Em         C
That stops you taking the city
 Am         C
(Strung out committee)

[Verse 3]
C      Am         C   Am
Walled out of the city
Dm           Em     Am
Clubbed down from uptown
C       Am            C    Am
Sprayed pest from the nest
Dm         Em     C
Run out to barrio town
     Am
(The guards are itchy)
C
Forced to watch at the feast
Dm   Em              Am
Then sweep up the night
C       Am        C
Flipped pieces of coin
 Am     Dm
(Broken bottles)
  Em          Am
Exchanged for birthright
 Am
(Grafted in a jiffy)

[Chorus]
C      Am
Ghetto defendant
Dm    Em     C
It is heroin pity
 Am
(Strung out committee)
C                Am
Not tear gas nor baton charge
Dm            Em
Will stop you taking the city
 Am
(Not sitting pretty)
 Dm
(Grafted in a jiffy)
Am
Heroin pity
C                Am
Not tear gas nor baton charge
Dm            Em             Am
Will stop you taking the city

N.C.
The Ghetto Prince of gutter poets
N.C.
Was bounced out of the room
 Am          C
(Jean Arthur Rimbaud)
       Am            C    Am
By the bodyguards of greed
Dm     Am
For disturbing the tomb
   C
(1873)
C         Am
His words like flamethrowers
 Am
(Paris commune)
Dm        Em               C    Am
Burnt the ghettos in their chests
C     Am         C    Am
His face painted whiter
Dm         Em
And he was laid to rest
 Am
(Died in Marseilles)

Ghetto defendant
           Dm

Stops you taking the city
 Am

It is heroin pity

Not tear gas nor baton charge

That stops you taking the city

Will stop you taking that city
C      Am
Ghetto defendant
Dm    Em     C   Am
It is heroin pity
C                Am
Not tear gas nor baton charge
