lyrics

Chav City

Just one more day in Chav City
Just one more day in this dead end town
Just one more day in this land unpretty
And I will tear this whole town down.

Faces hating snarling sneering
Walking dead men white as clowns
Can go to hell with their scorn & jeering
I'm going to burn this whole town down.

Just one more day in Chav City
With poisoned minds whose souls are ill
I just know I will show no pity
As every building I plan to kill.

Chorus
All these people believe in nothing
All these people cling to fear
Saw a sign on a dirty wall that said:
'Jesus never lived here; Jesus never lived here.'

See the children Orcs in waiting
Their parents’ hatred growing in their eyes
Finding peace in their love of hating
No wonder angels cry.

Going to torch it like Atlanta burning
Going to raze it Carthage style
And when there's no more rubble for churning
Its the only time you will see me smile.

Chorus

Instrumental

Chorus

One more day & I'll burn down Chav City
Every snide boy & every sneer
Going to write on that dirty wall the sign:
'Jesus has to live here, Jesus has to live here, Jesus has to live here.
