Suno - Urban Blues
While Cash Jordan's increasingly grim video reports about New York City on his YouTube channel inspired much of the lyrics for this song, the truth is the situations described herein are appallingly common in all large American cities and increasingly in the smaller ones as well. I don't know what it is about urban living that corrupts people so badly and makes them vote the criminals ruining their cities at the street level into power so they can ruin their cities from up on lofty political perches as well, but something about cities themselves just seems to be an inherently bad influence on their inhabitants. Anyway, unlike most of my previous entries, there's nothing deliberately humorous about this song; I truly did have the blues when asking Suno to generate the lyrics, and while editing the lyrics and song's album cover image into what you're seeing and hearing here.
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
In the city streets I roam;
Can't find an honest job no more.
All I see is shadows grow;
Crime's the keeper of the score.
[Chorus]
City's got the blues, yeah!
Honest work is through, yeah!
Crime’s the only news, yeah!
City's got the blues, yeah!
[Verse 2]
The dealers on the corner stay,
Flashing cash like it's a game.
Empty factories by the bay;
No more workers, only shame.
[Chorus]
City's got the blues, yeah!
Honest work is through, yeah!
Crime’s the only news, yeah!
City's got the blues, yeah!
[Verse 3]
Gambling joints, the risks we take;
Nothing's safe, it’s all at stake.
Saw my dreams crumble and break;
Lost 'em in the city's wake.
[Chorus]
City's got the blues, yeah!
Honest work is through, yeah!
Crime’s the only news, yeah!
City's got the blues, yeah!
[Verse 4]
Fencing takes what's yours and mine:
Stolen wares, a twisted shrine!
Every day we fall behind;
Can't keep up with thieving crime.
[Chorus]
City's got the blues, yeah!
Honest work is through, yeah!
Crime’s the only news, yeah!
City's got the blues, yeah!
[Bridge]
Hookers and pimps on every corner;
Feel like I'm the city's last mourner.
No hope for help down at City Hall:
Our leaders are the worst crooks of all!
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
City's got the blues, yeah!
Honest work is through, yeah!
Crime’s the only news, yeah!
City's got the blues, yeah!
