[Verse 1]
There's something happening in this town
It's not good and it gets me down
You close your eyes but it won't go away
It never used to be that way

[Chorus]
A calm place to chill today
If hunger says crime must pay
A song for a hungry day (yeah)

[Verse 2]
I get scared on a city street
A hungry guy isn't very discreet
Lost his job or an arm or a leg
Or a junkie with machine gun shakes (a junkie)

[Chorus]
A calm place to chill today
If hunger says crime must pay
A song for a hungry day (yeah)

[Chorus]
A calm place to chill today
If hunger says crime must pay
A song for a hungry day (yeah)
