Faith in the City is a criticism of those who are so enamored with god they can’t see how far down the toilet their life has gone, even if it’s at no fault of their own.
[Intro]
I got a job in the city
1, 2, 3, 4
[Verse 1]

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm an Aquarius
1, 2, 3, 4
[Chorus]
Praise the lord (Praise the lord)

1, 2, 3, 4
[Chorus]
Praise the lord (Praise the lord)
Praise the lord (Praise the lord)
Praise the lord (Praise the lord)
Praise the lord (Praise the lord)
Praise the lord (Praise the lord)
Praise the lord (Praise the lord)
Praise the lord (Praise the lord)
Praise the lord (Praise the lord)
