Nightmare City Lyrics - Living Colour

Let the children go, let the children go 

Let the children go, let the children go 

(Nobody knows the trouble she's seen) 

Let the children go, let the children go 

(She is, she's my ghetto queen, for real) 

Let the children go, let the children go 

In this brutal system that knows no pity 

Living in nightmare city 

In this urban battle field, she knows no barricade 

With some kind of crazy hope in these days of rage 

Living in nightmare city, living in nightmare city 

Let the children go, let the children go 

(Nobody knows the trouble she's seen) 

Let the children go, let the children go 

(She is, she's my ghetto queen, for real)

Here come the crawling politicians on their ghetto safari 

Living in nightmare city 

In this urban battle field she lives in smoke and haze 

With some kind of crazy hope in these days of rage 

Living in nightmare city, living in nightmare city 

Let the children go, let the children go 

(Nobody knows the trouble she's seen) 

Let the children go, let the children go 

(She is, she's my ghetto queen, for real) 

She speaks without saying a word 

She screams without being heard 

Living in nightmare city 

She speaks without saying a word 

She screams without being heard 

Living in nightmare city 

Let the children go, let the children go 

Let the children go, let the children go 

(Nobody knows the trouble I see)

Let the children go, let the children go 

(She is, she's my ghetto queen) 

Let the children go, let the children go 

Let the children go, let the children go 

(She's my ghetto queen, for real) 

Let the children go, let the children go 

(She's my ghetto queen) 

Let the children go, let the children go 

(She's my ghetto queen, for real) 

Let the children go, let the children go 

(For real, for real) 

Let the children go, let the children go 

(She's my ghetto queen)
