Sound of the City

I’ve been up and down In that city of lies Working like a dog Trying to make ends meet I’ve been down and up In that city of lies Wearing all these faces Trying to find a lover With all these fake smiles And all these fake dreams Wherever I go I say hello to a shadow That’s the Sound of the city That’s the Sound of the city Well I want nothing more To feel free to let go I want nothing more To be taken by love I’ve been up and down In that city of lies I see these men in sweet suits Trying to pull the wool over our eyes So I fake my beliefs to try to fit in And see myself look like a fool I’m fighting for a space to exist A place where I would be free of their contempt That’s the Sound of the city That’s the Sound of the city Well I want nothing more To feel free to let go I want nothing more To be taken by love I want nothing more to feel free to let go to be taken by love
