A tale of two cities. The have's & have not's. The ruthlessly cruel skyline royals of wealth meet the savage, deranged gutter-dwellers beneath.
lyrics
... And beneath they creep the streets.
Subterranean faction knowns only meat.
It's a lovely ride down the sewer slide,
to the beating heart of the endless night and ...
Only roses grow down here.
From our radioactive K-hole in action,
we don't eat, scour the city streets.
& we don't ask no quarter, none given.
Morals of God are far beyond driven!
Only roses grow down here
Who is who inside the human zoo,
and do you care?
Beg for scraps through manhole traps
suited to bulls & bears
We're sons & daughters of wealth & importance,
of doormen & porters, indeed.
Nothing's as important as the warmth of ignorance.
Come, you'll see.
No time for crackpot, hack job nobodies!
How tall's your family tree?
No time for handshakes, 'how are ya?', 'goodbye',
no one's as important as me!
Only roses grow down here.
