Living in the City

Yeah bells are ringing on your alarm clock,
It's six in the morning, man the race don't stop.
I just shit, shower, shave, make it to the station.
Waiting for the train, goddamn the train late again.

Hit the streets and they are seething,
Duck and weave, begging, stealing, got no kneeling and your feeling, that you want it more.

That's how it goes, living in the city.
Everybody getting down to the nitty gritty.
They don't look back, they don't take no pity.
Hey ya know I never said it would be pretty.
That's just how it goes, living in the city.
Everybody getting down to the nitty gritty.
They don't look back, don't take no pity.

Well I get to the office and delete my spam.

What could it be, delete my plans.
Working everyday for the goddamn man.
Sometimes I wonder just who I am.
Where I'm gonna go, don't know. Gonna have a dental.
Then I'm gonna move coastal.
Everything gonna be just fine,
Working every day on my gold mine.

That's how it goes, living in the city.
Everybody getting down to the nitty gritty.
They don't look back, they don't take no pity.
Hey ya know I never said it would be pretty.
That's just how it goes, living in the city.
Everybody getting down to the nitty gritty.
They don't look back, don't take no pity. (x4)
