Verse I:
E G A
Down on the streets & the wind was blowing hard
E G A
And Cardboard City was growing yard by yard
E G A
Well the people had it bad, there lives had gone sour
E G A
They had been swept aside like dirt because others hungered for power
Chorus:
E - - - - D - - - - A
Going down
E D - - - - A
To Cardboard City I'm going down
E D - - - - A
Ta Cardboard City Down & out
E D - - - - A
In Cardboard City
Verse II:
E G A
What you have to understand is that they are human as well
E G A
They are living flesh & blood there not just lost souls from hell
E G A
They don't wanna be in big boxes, in an impoverishment
E G A
You need some cash to get a place & you need a place to get a job
*Repeat Chorus*
Verse III:
E G A
Its a vicious circle & you cannot just bail out
E G A
You cannot worry for about a job cause you need food in your mouth
E G A
Just surviving day to day is about the the hardest thing
E G A
You'd get fond of the bottle if you can try to forget everything
**Repeat Chorus**
