Story behind the song
Glasgow is a great city but as most cities it has their down falls.
Lyrics
on top of a hill lookin down on the city// disfunctional junctions of people make it shitty// ma mum once told me that it was so pretty// now gritty destroyed by the government// it's like they had a plan on disturbin' it// the put there politics into every thing we see// picture a young child what do they see?// poverty - violence - religion splitin' the peace// bringin people to cease - 2 many police// and it's not like they do shit anyway// you hear stories of them twist words they say// and i'll tell you it's probibly true// but what can we do to stop this hate// it's like the cities fate wasn't ment to be great// and it's too late to stop and think// how to get rid of this stench and stink// the city lights been split into 2// rangers on one side - celtic on the other// people in fear gotta live undercover// why cant we just all bare wae each other// 15 year old girls gettin' pregnant and losin there life// they rolled the dice and it landed on a low one// 18 - one son - alone - council home - dependent on mobile phone// boyfriend left 'em coz he never cared// now livin' life bare - with no body there// fuck all money coz she cant get a job// mum turned her back on her - told her to go rob// some ones soul - just so you know// the kid now 3 - what does he want to be// wonderin' who his father would be or who is he// the mother only knows and doesnt choose to expose// wipin' her tears and blowin' her nose// she looks out of her flat window and spots the crows// young growin' up in a life of pain// immature fast listen words been sayin// innocence lost in every drop if rain// will Glasgow ever be the same..... it's easy to paint a perfect picture// but it's shattered when reality hits you// people bein classed as scum coz they're bums// coz trouble for no reason at all// but fuck it - it's their choice to rise then fall// into the deep pit of shit which we sit in// which we live in - breathe in - and will die in// take drugs think their flyin sky highin'// then the downers of life makes you take your own// sick of here - sick of their - sick of any where// stressed losin' all their hair ..... but i guess it was the governments plans// to destroy the mans of this shitty city// and it's a pitty - it's already beautiful// but people mistreat it you know// the city lights been split into 2// rangers on one side - celtic on the other// people in fear gotta live undercover// why cant we just all bare wae each other// young growin' up in a life of pain// immature fast listen words been sayin// innocence lost in every drop if rain// will Glasgow ever be the same.....
