Simple Kid - This Is Called The City текст песни

I get along same as anyone

Pay my money for the good of the nation

Raise my face when the sun hit's the city

Wonder if there's still any vitamins innit

My friend says that we all need saving

From car parks and governments and alligators

It's a long way down from the tallest building

But it's the gas from the basement that eventually kills ya

Looked around town for shrinks and saviours

People all running on simulators

Think 'i gotta join a gym' but ya leave a month later

Cos ya saw somethin better on the add in the paper

This is called the city but it's more a state of mind than anything else

You get so busy, got no time to analyse why in your dreams you are just floating there like dishes in the sink, so you get up and hit the city. you're just tryin to make the best of it.

Beard keeps growin so you keep shavin

Fast food eating everyone in the nation

Sticks and stones won't break your bones

But yer phone's ringtones got everybody worried about the radiation

This is called the city but it's more a state of mind than anything else

You get so busy, got no time to analyse why in your dreams you are just floating there like dishes in the sink, so you get up and hit the city. you're just tryin to make the best of it.

It's a long way home

It's a long way down

Analyzin, super-sizin, young men learnin about compromisin, faces wisen, rents keep risin

Don't waste your time tryin to read between the lines you'll just find they sold the space there for advertising.
