Simple Kid This Is Called The City Lyrics

i get along same as anyonepay my money for the good of
the nation
raise my face when the sun hit's the city
wonder if there's still any vitamins innit
my friend says that we all need saving
from car parks and governments and alligators
it's a long way down from the tallest building
but it's the gas from the basement that eventually
kills ya
looked around town for shrinks and saviours
people all running on simulators
think 'i gotta join a gym' but ya leave a month later

cos ya saw somethin better on the add in the paper
this is called the city but it's more a state of mind
than anything else
you get so busy, got no time to analyse why in your
dreams you are just floating there like dishes in the
sink, so you get up and hit the city. you're just tryin to make the best of it.
beard keeps growin so you keep shavin
fast food eating everyone in the nation
sticks and stones won't break your bones
but yer phone's ringtones got everybody worried about
the radiation
this is called the city but it's more a state of mind
than anything else
you get so busy, got no time to analyse why in your
dreams you are just floating there like dishes in the
sink, so you get up and hit the city. you're just tryin
to make the best of it.
it's a long way home
it's a long way down
analyzin, super-sizin, young men learnin about
compromisin, faces wisen, rents keep risin
don't waste your time tryin to read between the lines
you'll just find they sold the space there for
advertising.
