Condemned
Smoke a cigarette on my porch
And watch the world go by
Realize that this is no place to live
But really a place to die
Our souls cannot be saved
Because this is definitely hell
Once you're here there's no escape
You're under a demonic spell
This community is condemned
From the core to the sky
Rapists and worse run free
And no one bats an eye
Everyone is so full of hate
Yet sickeningly polite to your face
There's no sincerity or honesty
In this miserable place
But if you have money or drugs
Everyone's your best friend
And once they've sucked you dry
That's where the friendships end
I'll keep smoking my cigarette
Watching the world go by
The depravity of this place will haunt me
Until the day I die
