THE CITY AT NIGHT

(Applies to most major cities)

 

The city at night, its just no longer safe
In fact its a dangerous place
Law abiding citizens can't go there now
Why its simply a damn disgrace

Law and order is now a thing of the past
Thugs and villains have taken control
Never mind hounding our drivers
This issue must be our main goal

Now I'm not blaming all the young people
Most are honest and decent young folk
But the way courts treat these undesirables
Well, most decent people think its a joke

Mugging old folk has gone beyond common
And stabbings and kickings are rife
We should lock them away on some island
Let them search for the value of life

But this issue has got to be sorted
Cause' if somethings not done pretty soon
This cancer among us will strengthen
We'd be safer to live on the moon

So your daughter or son is a hooligan
Keeping silent won't make it disappear
Cause' friend this can happen to anyone
And you know, this could just be your year

The cities especially at night have become dangerous for decades now. Sadly it is a shame and your words ring true....

Be always safe,
Karen
