Life In Tenement Square
Lyricist:John T Donovan, Matthew Hensley, Nathen A Jeglinski, David King, Bridget Regan, Robert Anthony Schmidt, George Edward Schwindt
Well I kissed the day, I was on my way Through those cold gray blocks of stone For seventeen years, of squalor-filled tears A time now with innocence lost
As the sun split the room with its rays filled with gloom Turnin' all hope to despair The only thing left was to flee from the nest That was life in a tenement square
I remember the song, where the rats sang along And danced for their daily bread While the damp washed the walls, that were twenty feet tall Not a child in the house was fed
On the porter filled face of the men left no trace Of the coin they had already spent While our mothers asked God, what was hell ever for? Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com When you lived in a tenement square
Grab what's left of the coal, from the ol' cubbyhole These cinders need more to be a fire While the ghosts of the soldiers that lived there before us Laugh with their guns by their side I hear them laugh with their guns by their sides
Now politicians they dwell in that forgotten hell Our misery's been turned into news Where the fat of the land, now hog, hand-in-hand A crime now of life was ever true
As the sun split the room with its rays filled with gloom Turnin' all hope to despair The only thing left, was to flee from the nest That was life in a tenement square
