Lyrics

The City

The city it don't like you

No never did

Never did

Won't stop

Won't stop

Till it got you on your knees

Give you a stack of beggar memories

Sends you on your way

Yeah

Get out

Get out

Of your boxes

Running running running with the gases

The city like you know

Don't want you around

Discovering suspicion at the bus stop

You're not one of our kind

You're not our kind

Said you're not our kind

The city it don't like you

No never did

Never did

Won't stop

Won't stop

Till it got you on your knees

Give you a stack of beggar memories

Sends you on your way

Running with the flocks

To get by
