Does The Lion City Still Roar by Less Than Jake
Does The Lion City Still Roar
Tuning: standard
Bm G
I'll keep my faith alive
Em F#
Cause this is paradise for parasites
Bm G
I can't believe my eyes
Em F#
Streets full of blank faces and junkie eyes
Bm G
The streets won't sleep tonight
Em F# Bm
A lullaby for the half alive
G
The city swings and whines
Em F#
To the double crime of drugs and hard times
Bm G Em F#
Lion city's sirens sing the night away, night away
Bm G D F#
Lion city's sirens sing the night away
A Bm
The city feels like a cage
G D
Feels like a powder keg
Bm G F#
That's almost set to explode
Bm G Em F# (same chords the whole verse)
Bm G
Lion city's begun to rot
Em F#
It's a matter of time until the roaring stops
Bm G
The scene from the ground up
Em F# Bm
From the painted walls to the rooftops
G Bm
Lion city's closed and locked
Em F#
While the pop of feet crack on sidewalks
Bm G
The haves and the have-nots
Em F#
Fade to backdrops of drums and gunshots
Bm G Em F#
Lion city's sirens sing the night away, night away
Bm G D F#
Lion city's sirens sing the night away
Bm G
There's an overdose on 8th
Em F#
And he does the cocaine shake
Bm G D F#
Cause the lion city's sirens sing the night away
A Bm
The city seems like it's trapped
G D A
Between it's future and it's past
Bm G D A
Life or death of a city not coming back
A Bm
The city feels like a cage
G D
Feels like a powder keg
Bm G F#
And now it's gonna explode
Bm G Em F#
Lion city's sirens sing the night away, night away
Bm G D F#
Lion city's sirens sing the night away
Bm G
There's an overdose on 8th
Em F#
And he's wearing a blue face
Bm G D F#
Cause lion city's sirens sing the night away
Bm G D F#
Sing the night away
Bm G D F#
Sing the night away
G F#
And I won't be long

I'll keep my faith alive
Cause this is apparent as a parasite
I can't believe this sight
Streets full of blank faces and junky eyes
The streets won't sleep tonight
A lullaby for the half-alive
The city swings and whines
To the double crime of drugs and hard times
Lion city sirens sing the night away, night away
Lion city sirens sing the night away
The city feels like a cage
Feels like a powder cape
That's almost set to explode
Lion city's begun to rot
It's a matter of time until the roaring stops
The scene from the ground up
From the painted walls to the rooftops
My city's closed a lot
While the hop of the beat crack our sidewalks
The haves and the have-nots
Paint the backdrops of drugs and gunshots
Lion city sirens sing the night away, night away
Lion city sirens sing the night away
There's an overdose on me
And he dusts the cocaine sheet
Cause the lion city sirens sing the night away
The city seems like it's trapped
It's rid it's future and it's past
Life or death of a city not coming back
The city feels like a cage
Feels like a powder cape
And now it's gonna explode
Lion city sirens sing the night away, night away
Lion city sirens sing the night away
There's an overdose on me
And it's wearing out good things
Cause lion city sirens sing the night away
Sing the night away
Sing the night away
And I won't be long
