Lyrics:
of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls."
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
sure dOWNTOWN
Everything’s waiting for you
OR YOU CAN GO uptotwn each everning
TO MY TENEMENT uptown where folks
Don’t have to pay much rent
And when
of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence
of tenement blocks, rat infested filth and squalor.
I left school, went straight on the dole
And unemployment's no enjoyment,
Welfare State owned my mind
must remember the fallen ones
Remember the fallen ones
Raised in the capital of Port-au-Prince
Born with them pillars and them tenements
Papa used
them tenements
Papa used to run from the immigration
When we got to the United Station
A teen under pressure, had to blend in
Before the guitar I had
of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence
he drug me along the Berlin wall.
The tiger has claws, he pulled me from my tenement wall
There is no hiding place on the streets today
Just flex your
a tenement cage for innocent pay
Tragedy within a parade
The darkness overspread like permanent plague
I'm the forgotten
In the memory you'll find me
Eyes
of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence
Give it nice and loud for Mister Myles Kennedy
of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls."
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.

Johnny no"
The night passed like a thousand years
The tenement room had culled her tears
Then came a knock upon the door
Two men she'd never seen before
Ghetto university, knowledge is all it took
In a tenement I was listenin' to the hook
Change gon' come, the spirit of Sam Cook
When the feds comin',
of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls."
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
each ev'nin' to my tenement
Uptown where folks don't have to pay much rent
And when he's there with me he can see that he's everything
Then he's tall,
of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls."
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
a child in the street
Dodgin' traffic and beggin' to eat on a tenement row
And that's a long row to hoe
No love at all is a troubled young girl
Standin'
life
When I was a young boy
Tenements, slums and corner bums
Playing tag with winos
The only way to have some fun
One thing 'bout the ghetto
You
The night passed like a thousand years
The tenement room had culled her tears
Then came a knock upon the door
Two men she'd never seen before
"Did you know
catching it
Don't check me, go check ya bitch
You don't want to get me out of my element
From a tenant in a tenements to owning my residence
Phone still
As snowflakes drifted into her tenement room
Her baby little fingers grew numb
From makin' artificial flowers those artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies
As snowflakes drifted into her tenement room
Her baby little fingers grew numb
From makin' artificial flowers those artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies
them tenements
Papa used to run from the immigration
When we got to the United Station
A teen under pressure, had to blend in
Before the guitar I had
