I’ve never been in Minneapolis
She thinks it’s a crying shame
To be rottin’ away
On this side of the ocean
Where rock and roll is second rate
Everything, everyone seems to be a rip-off
On this side of the ocean
On this side of the ocean

Hey, you don’t wanna stay
(hey you don’t wanna stay)
things always look the same here
(things always look the same here)
move to Minneapolis
Hey, you don’t wanna stay
(hey you don’t wanna stay)
things always look the same here
(things always look the same here)
move to Minneapolis

Buy a pick-up truck
And leave this place
visit Texas, Seattle,
New York and Detroit
She said I don’t wanna die
Labelled as the one
Who married the one
Who didn’t take his chance
On the other side of the ocean
On the other side of the ocean

Hey, you don’t wanna stay
(hey you don’t wanna stay)
things always look the same here
(things always look the same here)
move to Minneapolis
Hey, you don’t wanna stay
(hey you don’t wanna stay)
things always look the same here
(things always look the same here)
move to Minneapolis

Hey, you don’t wanna stay
(hey you don’t wanna stay)
things always look the same here
(things always look the same here)
move to Minneapolis
Hey, you don’t wanna stay
(hey you don’t wanna stay)
things always look the same here
(things always look the same here)
move to Minneapolis

Hey, you don’t wanna stay
(hey you don’t wanna stay)
things always look the same here
(things always look the same here)
move to Minneapolis

Minneapolis, Minneapolis...
