Coat check girl up in Happyland
has a violent row with a Cuban man
Julio leaves in a drunken rage
Comes back with the gasoline
The club had no fire exit
The club only have one door
Only five people came out alive
The sin is that 89 died

89 dead 89 dead
89 dead 89 dead

The sin is that a year and a half
before the fire chief's out
and he's raising cain brands
Happyland hazard close down but no.
No-one ever paid him no mind…

City living heavy trouble
City living rough
We are given angry heart
but angers not enough
City living heavy trouble
City living rough
We are given angry heart
but angers not enough

Daily News reviews of the landlords life
found six thousand code ciolations light.
The city has more a hundred thousand wars
all for one of Forbes' Four Hundred whores.

Just one fire cracker on a big bondfire
of self serving penny pinching wiseguy style.
Never allowing for the human condition…

The sin is that these guys survive.

City living heavy trouble
City living rough.
We are given angry heart
But anger's not enough
City living heavy trouble
City living rough
We are given angry heart
but angers not enough…

Sin of the City
Stop killing your people now
Stop wasting your people now
You're using your people up.
