Tracy Chapman - Subcity

People say it doesn't exist
Insanlar yok diyor
'Cause no one would like to admit
Cunku kimse kabul etmek istemez
That there is a city underground
Yer altinda sehir oldugunu
Where people live everyday
Her gun insanlarin yasadigi
Off the waste and decay
Copten ve curukten uzak
Off the discards of their fellow man
Arkadaslarinin copunden uzak
Here in subcity life is hard
Yersehrinde hayat zor
We can't receive any government relief
Hukumetten rahatlik yok
I'd like to please give Mr. President my honest regards
Bay Baskana durustce sevgilerimi iletmek isterim
For disregarding me
Beni onemsemedigi icin
They say there's too much crime in these city streets
Bu sehir sokaklarinda cok suc var diyorlar
My sentiments exactly
Hislerim aynen oyle
Government and big business hold the purse strings
Hukumet ve buyuk isler canta iplerini tutuyor
When I worked I worked in the factories
Fabrikalarda calistigimda
I'm at the mercy of the world
Dunyanin merhametindeyim
I guess I'm lucky to be alive
Yasadigim icin sansliyim sanirim
They say we've fallen through the cracks
Kiriklardan iceri dustuk diyorlar
They say the system works
Sistem calisiyor diyorlar But we won't let it
Ama izin vermeyiz
Help
Yardim
I guess they never stop to think
Sanirim hic dusunmeye durmazlar
We might not just want handouts
Brosur istemeyebiliriz
But a way to make an honest living
Ama durust bir yasam yaratmak icin
Living this ain't living
Boyle yasamak yasamak degil
What did I do deserve this
Bunu hak edecek ne yaptim
Had my trust in god
Tanriya guvenim vardi
Worked everyday of my life
Hayatimin her gunu calistim
Thought I had some guarantees
Garantim var saniyordum
That's what I thought
Oyle dusundum
At least that's what I thought
En azindan oyle
Last night I had another restless sleep
Dun gece uykusuz gecemdi yine
Wondering what tomorrow might bring
Yarinin ne getirecegini merak ederken
Last night I dreamed
Dun gece hayal ettim
A cold blue light was shining down on me
Soguk mavi isik uzerime parliyordu
I screamed myself awake
Uyanana kadar ciglik attim
Thought I must be dying
Oluyorum sandim
