Oh Krakow
Oh
Oh Krakow
Oh
Jakub grew up on the south side of town
Where a boy becomes a man cuz there's no daddy around
Makin' five bucks a day at the factory
Tryin' to break free from his destiny
And Arek plays guitar like a Rolling Stone
Tries to keep himself together when he's all alone
Plays the blues, plays the jazz, and any melody
Tryin' to break free from his destiny
Oh Krakow
Oh
Oh Krakow
Oh
It's a young man's city, it's cold and it's gritty
But you'll learn to love it child, it's got everything in it
Got your women, got your liquor, got your Christianity
Things that won't break you free from your destiny.
You can smell it in the air, the city's stain
Of heavy metals turning into acid rain
But rain breeds life, which can be ecstasy
If you can only break free from your destiny
Destiny, from riches to rags
Destiny, under so many flags
Destiny, full of bloodshed and pain
Destiny, finally coming along
Destiny, keep your guns drawn
Oh Krakow
Oh
Oh Krakow
Oh
I turned a corner to another time
When the skies are blue and you're doing fine
And I find myself confused somehow
That I'm livin' it up here in Krakow
And you can break free from the hands of time
Where you're makin' ends meet and you're doing fine
And when you find your way, eventually
You'll learn to create your own destiny
Oh Krakow
Oh
Oh Krakow
Oh
