In the city
The buildings of the city are blocking the sun
In the shade we'll be working until the job is done
And when we go to the pub people go insane
Drinking one after another and they start to complain
We once used to have a life but now it's just existence
Disconnected from the soul far out in the distance
Dressing to impress because we have to progress
Bodies full of medication and minds full of stress
Chorus:
In the city, this is the working class life in the city, in the city
Coming home exhausted from working around the clock
Your wife wants sex you're too tired to fuck
Our kids need to play outside but we deny that
So instead we're just buying them an I-pad
Working all day for minimum wage
Getting yelled at by people who are under your age
School thought us well to think the way we do
That's how we ended up in this goddamn zoo
Chorus:
Paradise lost damn what a pitty
We've turned everything into a goddamn city
Surrounded by people but we still feel alone
The green green gras of home became stone
Most people end working jobs they hate
Starting early in the morning and coming home late
Still every month we come a little short
Cause we all want to buy what we cannot afford
Chorus:
