City You Live In Is Ugly

歌詞

You wake before the sunrise And at five am you get on the bus People look so resigned to the daily grind And you swear it'll never be you You said that you were new in town No friends around no family to speak of Everyone you met out here was just full of fear With no time for dreams or schemes And as you're walking down the street what do you see? Well there's cars, and strip malls And little black houses what do they mean? The city you live in is ugly The city you live in is ugly But it wasn't meant to be No it wasn't meant to be They covered up the Bomax sign With toys r us you didn't make a fuss But now you're regretting it and forgetting it And you dont drive by there much You're working on broadway, The early shift in a new cafe Lately you've been pawning bills just for the thrills And you boss hasnt noticed a thing And you're feeling very lost in the world today There's no use for you're here And here's just the same as anywhere The city you live in is ugly The city you live in is ugly But it wasn't meant to be No it wasn't meant to be
