Biography:
Less Than Jake is a ska-punk band formed in 1992 in Gainesville, USA. Their current line-up consists of Chris DeMakes (vocals, guitar), Roger Lima (vocals, bass), Matt Yonker (drums), Buddy Schaub (trombone) and Peter "JR" Wasilewski (saxophone).
The band's name derives from a bird Vinnie had while growing up, which was treated better than the rest of the family. It's also a reference to the phrase "everything is jake," which is an old phrase meaning everything is cool.

DOES THE LION CITY STILL ROAR - Less Than Jake
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: dodlhuat
Tuning: standard
Bm G
I'll keep my faith alive
Em F#
Cause this is paradise for parasites
Bm G
I can't believe my eyes
Em F#
Streets full of blank faces and junkie eyes
Bm G
The streets won't sleep tonight
Em F# Bm
A lullaby for the half alive
G
The city swings and whines
Em F#
To the double crime of drugs and hard times
Bm G Em F#
Lion city's sirens sing the night away, night away
Bm G D F#
Lion city's sirens sing the night away
A Bm
The city feels like a cage
G D
Feels like a powder keg
Bm G F#
That's almost set to explode
Bm G Em F# (same chords the whole verse)
Lion city's begun to rot
It's a matter of time until the roaring stops
The scene from the ground up
From the painted walls to the rooftops
Lion city's closed and locked
While the pop of feet crack on sidewalks
The haves and the have-nots
Fade to backdrops of drums and gunshots
Lion city's sirens sing the night away, night away
Bm G D F#
Lion city's sirens sing the night away
Bm G
There's an overdose on 8th
Em F#
And he does the cocaine shake
Bm G D F#
Cause the lion city's sirens sing the night away
A Bm
The city seems like it's trapped
G D A
Between it's future and it's past
Bm G D A
Life or death of a city not coming back
A Bm
The city feels like a cage
G D
Feels like a powder keg
Bm G F#
And now it's gonna explode
Lion city's sirens sing the night away, night away
Lion city's sirens sing the night away
There's an overdose on 8th
And he's wearing a blue face
Cause lion city's sirens sing the night away
Bm G D F#
Sing the night away
Bm G D F#
Sing the night away
G F#
And I won't be long
