Broke City

Oh no, I
Left my wallet in my office draw,
And I have forgotten to lock the door,
If somebody takes it I will be poor,
Sometimes I hate this

Broke City
Our public services have no funding,
There's eight criminals for one copper,
The roads are hol-ey and they're crumbling,
This Broke City

What is our taxpayer money going into?
Why does my back alleyway look quite like a zoo?
Why is this in my sight?
Gangsters in
Broad daylight?

Broke City
The water tastes like a rubbish bin,
All of the fire-fighters went on strike,
The downtown area's a den of sin,
This Broke City

Oh nooooo-oooooo
Oooooo-ooooo
Oooooo-ooooo

Oh nooooo-oooooo
Oooooo-ooooo
Oooooo-ooooo

Broke City
You know it's getting bad when you can see,
A squad car flying over South District,
Because we've some supervillainry,
This Broke City

The hospital has two wards that are functional,
When did this city get so darn dysfunctional?
What is this whole freak show?
City Hall
You must know

About this Broke City,
Where has all the coffers money gone?
I bet it was stolen by all the crooks,
'Cause the crooks they have already won,
This city sucks

Oh nooooo-oooooo
Oooooo-ooooo
Oooooo-ooooo

Oh nooooo-oooooo
Oooooo-ooooo
Oooooo-ooooo

Broke City,
Criminal City

Don't you know that this place is a
Broke City,
Criminal City

Don't you know that this place is a
Broke City,
Criminal City

Don't you know that this place is a
Broke City,
Criminal City
I've got a crippling case of writer's block for Stage Fright, so I forced myself to do this so I can say I did something productive today.

This is for my upcoming Nickhouse series. Basically, it's Cartoon City in a nutshell. The state of the city will mostly be played for laughs.
