The Interrupters – Phantom City lyrics

(feat. Tim Armstrong of Rancid)

Police tape out, there’s a roadblock
Detective holds the sidewalk chalk
He said, “no media here, put your cameras down”
The search turned up no weapons found
The suspect he was just a child
But he stayed out late and he gotprofiled
Now this town won’t be the same
The whole world knows it by name

Phantom city, we live in a graveyard
And there ain’t n pity (2x)

City’s gonna blow like dynamite
No justice, no peace tonight
And the people rose up and made their voice heard
No the city’s shut down and their eyes are blurred
From the tear gas comin’ in just like fog
And the sound we hear, it’s a police dog
Now this town won’t be the same
The whole world knows it by name

Phantom city, we live in a graveyard
And there ain’t n pity (2x)

We’re not gonna be alone tonight
You know we’re stronger when we all get up and unite
And there’s a few of us against a million you know
And peace and love is the only way to go
The city’s gonna blow like dynamite
No justice, no peace tonight
Now this town won’t never be the same
The whole world knows it by name

Phantom city, we live in a graveyard
And there ain’t n pity (2x)
