In the City

[Verse 1] In the city there's a thousand things I want to say to you But whenever I approach you, you make me look a fool [Chorus 1] I wanna say I wanna tell you About the young idea But you turn them into fear [Verse 2] In the city there's a thousand faces all shining bright And all them golden faces under 25 [Chorus 2] They wanna say They're gonna tell you About the young idea You better listen now, you've said your bit [Bridge] I know what you're thinking You're sick of that kind of crap But you'd better listen, man 'Cause the kids know where it's at [Verse 3] In the city there's a thousand men in uniforms I heard they have the right to kill a man [Chorus 3] We wanna say We wanna tell you About the young idea And if it don't work, at least we tried [Outro] In the city In the city In the city In the city In the city there's a thousand things I want to say to you
