living in the city,
got ta work for another day
Neon lights go rushing past,
you don't read the words they say
Forget about tomorrow,
wear clothes, out everything
Take your routine vitamins,
accept life happily
You're livin' in the city
Still workin' another day
Le on lights go rushin' past
You don't hear the words they say
Shattered halls and corridors
They make plans for our race
Behind the walls of a golden forge,
found a secret safe
Do not listen to preachers
and fools
Don't let them deceive you
with their rules
Some things we should not know,
yet some we know until
The way of the world is wicked and cruel
Liv ing in the city,
still working another day
The outlights go rushing past,
you don't hear the words they say
Forget about tomorrow,
and close out everything
Take your brooding bitter burns,
accept life and believe
In shattered homes and corridors,
they make us fool our race
Behind the walls of a golden fort,
built in secrecy
Do not listen to preachers
and fools
Don't let them deceive you
with their rules
Some things we should not know
And some we know are true
The way of the world is wicked
and cruel you
