Audioslave

Audioslave was an American rock supergroup formed in Los Angeles, California, in 2001 and disbanded in 2007. The four-piece band consisted of then-former Soundgarden lead singer/rhythm guitarist, Chris Cornell, and then-former Rage Against the Machine members, Tom Morello (lead guitar), Tim Commerford (bass/backing vocals), and Brad Wilk (drums). Critics initially described Audioslave as an amalgamation of Soundgarden and Rage Against the Machine, but by the band's second album, Out of Exile, it was noted that they had established a separate identity. more »

My city sleeps by the side of a freeway, the city scraps 
And winter time she wore a yellow coat 
Now there's nothin' on her back 
If a building falls you wouldn't care to notice unless you were in it 
Then no one cares about climbin' stairs, nothin' at the top no more 

Outside trippin' in the broken city 
Outside trippin' in the broken city, I watch a millionaire crack 
Outside trippin' in the broken city 
Outside kickin' in the broken city, there's nothin' wrong with that 

Now the snow falls down like it's fallin' on an ocean 
Dead and empty by the railroad tracks where they used to go and come 
Now they don't come back 
You can heal the rust, goin' up the throughways 
Down the alleys where they stole this town from the frontier 
I can see 'em tryin' to steal it back 

Outside trippin' in the broken city (Outside trippin' in the broken city) 
Outside trippin' in the broken city, I watch a millionaire crack 
Outside kickin' in the broken city (Outside trippin' in the broken city) 
Outside trippin' in the broken city, there's nothin' wrong with that 

Now the sun won't shine on this part of the map 
Anymore 
When it's cold outside I see it hide behind the smokestacks 
No thin roses, no goldrush, no miner, no revolution they'd hire 
And the shipyard is a graveyard, no one will be trying to find him 

Outside trippin' in the broken city (Outside trippin' in the broken city) 
Outside kickin' in the broken city, I watch a millionaire crack 
Outside trippin' in the broken city (Outside trippin' in the broken city) 
Outside kickin' in the broken city, there's nothin' wrong with that 
(There's nothin' wrong with that) 
(Outside trippin' in the broken city)
