If I Lived in the City

If I lived in the city I'd be near all of my friends But I would be too busy to see any of them We could plan a date out but one of us would flake out If I lived in the city I'd be near all of my friends If I lived in the city all I'd want is elbow room A studio apartment, oh no, what the fucks that gonna do The neighbors living upstairs would stomp around without care If I lived in the city all I'd want is elbow room But I know I'm just being a drag My outlook blows, but I'm just looking at the facts Theres nowhere to put your car, man, f*ck this traffic too The lights outshine the stars and the air is bad for you Man, I hate the phrase but its greener on the other side When I need to escape it all theres no place for me to hide If I lived in the city I'd look past all of that Calm down all my gripes drink tee outside my flat I'd feed the squirrels stale bread (Even though I know it's bad for them) And build houses for the birds If I lived in the city I'd pretend I'm in the woods If I lived in the city I'd pretend I lived in the woods
