Sadr  City blues, seen it on the news
 Kids today get their lights turned down
You  gotta shine  on
 Shine on
 Sadr City blues, there is no excuse
 Right your name down, get your name crossed out
 You gotta shine on
 Shine on
 Sitting at the back on your very own
 This ain't Jack or ain't wack, this is real life
 You gotta shine on
 That's right, shine on
 You can't wait  for the Sun to be born
 To hold you, keep you warm
 The desert has its ice  storm
 It's too late  for the flowers to arrive
 On the road of the cross the knives
 When you're looking for just  war
 You got to shine,  shine, shine, shine on
 To make  it through the Sadr  City blues
 You got to shine,  shine, shine, shine on
 To make  it through the Sadr  City blues
 Oh, the work is never done burying your son
 The television lights our lives
 You got to shine on
 Shine on
 Sitting in the back on your very own
 You get divorced over the telephone
 You got to shine on
 Shine on
 You can't wait for the Sun to be born
 To hold, to keep you warm
 The desert has its ice storm
 It's too late for the flowers to arrive
 On the road of the cross and knives
 When you're looking for just war
 You got to shine, shine, shine, shine on
 To make it through the Sadr City blues
 You got to shine, shine, shine, shine on
 To make it through the Sadr City blues
