Lyrics

Raised in the City

Raised in the city

Ready to run

Cruise to the lake

Fun fun fun

Disinclined to groove around

Raised in the city

Raised on beers

She gets rubber

In all four gears

Disinclined to lay down

Get outta my way

I can't see it

Outta my way

Can't see no band

Raised in the city

Ready to drop

Cruise to the lake

Call my pop

Tell him that I'm doin' just fine

Raised in the city

Ready to listen

Keep tellin' me

What I been missin'

Why don't you just sit down

Get outta my way

I can't see it

Outta my way

Can't see no band

Raised in the city

Ready to run

Cruise to the lake

Fun fun fun

Disinclined to groove around

Raised in the city

Till I'm old

Buy a car maybe

When I'm old

This my goddamn band

Outta my way

I can't see it

Outta my way

Can't see no band

Outta my way

I can't see it

Outta my way

Can't see no band
