In my hometown by the bay
The dirty water is here to stay
Heartbroken people out on the street
Have been forsaken by the ones who pledged to help the poor and weak

They're destitute and alone
This town's a prison. The chains, their home

In my hometown by the bay
The dirty water is here to stay

They go down to the water to wash their sins away
All those that came before are dead and buried memories
Sorrow rains on hopelessness
It's hard to see the light beyond the mess of poverty under duress

Doomed to drown by their own hand
This murky bay is no man's land
	
In my home town by the bay
The dirty water is here to stay

They go down to the water to wash their sins away
All those that came before are dead and buried memories

In my home town by the bay
The dirty water is here to stay
