An anthem to living in the city and not letting the congestion, poverty, pollution, crime, work, accidents, authority, and insanity make you unforgiving and uncooperative.
Lyrics
LIFE IN THE CITY © 2003 by Roger Dodge Sun chases the night out, Nocturnals crawl underneath their rocks. Metropolitan bustle - blue and white collars out to beat their clocks. Traffic bumper to bumper, Pull the mirror and comb those tangled locks. That’s life in the city, Sun shining but people feeling blue. That’s life in the city, It all comes down to me and you, That’s life in the city, There is really nothing we can do. That’s life in the city. There’s a man on the sidewalk, His sign says he’s hungry will work for food. Sky sketched out in charred chalk, Puts me in a claustrophobic mood. Make sure that the car’s locked, Rip-offs can make you come unglued. That’s life in the city, Sun shining but people feeling blue. That’s life in the city, It all comes down to me and you, That’s life in the city, Is there really nothing we can do? That’s life in the city. Streets crowded at five o’clock, People trying to get back home from work. Car wreck rubber necks gawk, Watch out for that stretch where the police lurk. Road ragers in gridlock, Small wonder we all don’t go berserk. That’s life in the city, Sun shining but people feeling blue. That’s life in the city, It all comes down to me and you, That’s life in the city, There is something that each of us can do! That’s life in the city.
