Kickback City (Remaster)

Kickback City (Remaster) - Rory Gallagher

They say this town will kill you

They say this town ain't got no soul

This town could take a child's smile

And turn it into stone

But don't you think I know that

This place has cut me to the bone

Trouble crawling up your back

Fear just eats your soul

You say this town will eat you up

You say this town don't have a heart

You try and learn all your lines

And you try to play the part

With all this double dealing

I tell you brother you get smart

Here in kickback city

You're lost before you start

People in subways

Look nearly half dazed to me

Renting tomorrow investing in sorrow

No belief

Yeah

Faces in sidestreets

Hiding like angels from grace

Selling you sorrow renting tomorrow

You're out of place

Yeah

They say this town will kill you

They say this town ain't got no soul

They'll set you up and pull the stitch

Till you're unravelled on the floor

But I won't let it beat me

Though trouble's knocking at my door

Somehow it's just your smile

That keeps me coming back for more

Yeah

Here in kickback city

Feel I'm going down slow

Here in kickback city

Feel I'm going down slow

Yeah
