In The City Lyrics

In The City lyrics

East side, west side

 larcency and homicide

 people trying to survive.

 Prostitution, retribution

 toxic waste and air pollution

 politics: no solution. 

 

 I've come from the other side of town

 This concrete jungle's got me down

 I feel the heet, from the street 

 

 Live in the city,

 die in the city.

 Talk is cheap and the air smells shitty.

 Laugh in the city,

 cry in the city.

 It's my home, but it sure ain't pretty. 

 

 Uptown, downtown

 On the streets and underground

 People trying to get around.

 Skyscrapers, money makers

 New York Knicks and L.A. Lakers

 One too many circuit brakers. 

 

 Live in the city,

 die in the city.

 Talk is cheap and the air smells shitty.

 Laugh in the city,

 cry in the city.

 It's my home, but it sure ain't pretty.
