Lyrics:   

This old city where I live is poor and dirty
Work I do, it barely pays the bills
This old city, it is home to stupid bastards I used to know
Lucky me, I'm too drunk to remember their names
This old city has had its fill of rock 'n roll stars
You can find them anywhere
They're hanging out in the back of some bar
Or they're walking around town exposing heroin scars
This old city where I live is poor and dirty
Work I do, it barely pays the bills
This old city, it is home to pissed off bastards I used to know
Lucky me, I'm too drunk to remember their names
Lyrics based on Drunken Confessions version.
