In the City (I Love Livin’ in the City)

Way out there on that horizon Out beyond the neon lights Life’s a bore and won’t get better It can’t beat the city late at night It's survival in the city When you live from day to day City streets don't have much pity When you're down, that's where you'll stay I love livin’ in the city I love livin’ in the city I love livin’ in the city I love livin’ in the city I was born here in the city With my back against the wall Nothing grows and life ain't pretty No one's there to catch you when you fall Way out there on that horizon Far away from the neon sky I know there ain’t nothing better Than the city late at night I love livin’ in the city I love livin’ in the city I love livin’ in the city I love livin’ in the city Spent my whole life in the city Where junk is king and the air smells shitty People pukin’ everywhere Piles of blood, scabs, and hair Bodies wasted in defeat People dyin’ on the street But the suburban scumbags, they don’t care Just get fat and dye their hair I love livin’ in the city I love livin’ in the city I love livin’ in the city I love livin’ in the city
