Pot Holes Lyrics - Perpetual Motion People - Ezra Furman

It's a beautiful city 

We've been living in latest 

Never go to the South side 

(Don't you go down to the South side.) 

And there's pot holes 

Sleeping in the black concrete 

And your little rebel rebel's 

Just a pebble in a big stream 

Yes, we're living underneath a 

World imperial empire 

And it's built on the flimsy web of 

Your money and your desire 

We built this city on the ruins of 

Rock and roll 

One minute you're driving on smooth pavement 

Then you're down in a dark pot hole

From MetroLyrics to You: Our Classic Christmas Playlist 

And there's black me sleeping on 

Your white concrete 

You go and see a ten dollar movie 

Then you're caught int the web of 

The waking dream 

It's a beautiful city 

But the streets are full of holes 

I spend my whole life on the North side 

(I don't go down to the South side.) 

And I drive on the concrete 

And I pay my taxes too 

And I could write a letter to the mayor 

But we both got a lot to do 

And I admit it's inconvenient 

To get robbed in a combat zone 

Well, shit, I had to cancel my credit card 

Had to buy me a brand new phone 

Photos 

But it's a beautiful city 

And the cops are on our side 

I mosey down to check out the 

Angry mob just to keep myself occupied 

And you can talk about Chicago 

You can talk about New York 

You can talk about London, England 

You can have a nice day, take a walk in the park 

But there's always at least two 

Different cities in your town 

And if you can't look at the dark one 

Then you'll spend your life living 

Down in a dark pot hole
