Sodom & Gomorrow - The Congos

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

The Whores Hustle And The Hustlers Whore

Speak to me of

Universal laws

The whores hustle and the hustlers whore

All around me

People bleed

Speak to me

Your song of greed

Speak to me

Of you inner charm

Of how you’ll keep me

Safe from harm

I don’t think so

I don’t see

Speak to me

Of your inner peace

Little people

At the amusement park

City people

In the dark

Speak to us

Send us a sign

Just give us something

To keep us trying

The whores hustle and the hustlers whore

Too many people out of love

The whores hustle and the hustlers whore

The city’s ripped right to the core

Speak to me

Of heroin and speed

Genocide and suicide

Of syphilis and greed

Speak to me

The language of love

The language of violence

The language of the heart

This isn’t the first time

I’ve asked for money or love

Heaven and earth

Don’t ever mean enough

Speak to me

Of heroin and speed

Just give me something

I can believe

The whores hustle and the hustlers whore

Too many people out of love

The whores hustle and the hustlers whore

The city’s ripped right to the core
