[Intro]
G Am C x2
[Verse 1]
G Am People say it doesn't exist C 'Cause no one would like to admit G That there is a city underground Am Where people live everyday C Off the waste and decay G Off the discards of their fellow man
[Chorus]
G Am C Here in subcity life is hard G Am D We can't receive any government relief G Am C I'd like to please give Mr. President my honest regards C D G For disregarding me
[Verse 2]
G Am They say there's too much crime in these city streets C My sentiments exactly G Am Government and big business hold the purse strings C When I worked I worked in the factories G Am C I'm at the mercy of the world D G I guess I'm lucky to be alive
[Chorus]
G Am C Here in subcity life is hard G Am D We can't receive any government relief G Am C I'd like to please give Mr. President my honest regards C D G For disregarding me
[Bridge]
C Am They say we've fallen through the cracks G They say the system works
But we won't let it
C Help Am I guess they never stop to think G We might not just want handouts Am But a way to make an honest living C G Living this ain't living
[Chorus]
G Am C Here in subcity life is hard G Am D We can't receive any government relief G Am C I'd like to please give Mr. President my honest regards D G For disregarding me
[Verse 3]
C Am What did I do deserve this G Am Had my trust in god C Am Worked everyday of my life G Thought I had some guarantees Em That's what I thought Em C D At least that's what I thought
[Chorus]
G Am C Here in subcity life is hard G Am D We can't receive any government relief G Am C I'd like to please give Mr. President my honest regards C D G For disregarding me
[Verse 4]
C Am Last night I had another restless sleep G Wondering what tomorrow might bring C Last night I dreamed Am A cold blue light was shining down on me G I screamed myself awake Em Thought I must be dying Em C D Thought I must be dying
[Chorus]
G Am C Here in subcity life is hard G Am D We can't receive any government relief G Am C I'd like to please give Mr. President my honest regards C D G For disregarding me Am C For disregarding me G For disregarding me Am C For disregarding me G For disregarding me Am C For disregarding me G For disregarding me Am C For disregarding me G G For disregarding me
