down here we walk a little faster 

down here we grow up real tight 

down here we stick together 

because down here you've gotta fight 



can live off this country's waste 

we consume so much in this rat race 

(the city is a) human breeding ground of exploitation 

but I won't become jaded 



IN THE CITY 



it's capitalism at its best 

people living neck to neck 

their glass buildings won't fall on their own 

so we should be throwing stones! 



IN THE CITY 



some of us were born here 

some of us were brought here 

some of us have moved here 

but none of us can leave here 



IN THE CITY
