Sidewalks burning in the sun
Park benches for everyone
We can stay in or we could go out
See, the thing I love about my city living
I never feel limited
I feel so down
I'm never gonna leave this dead-end town
With my city living, feeling primitive
We're city living
If there's a whole world
Contained within the limits
City living
City living
I never get my rest with city living
City living
And I'll never catch a break
But I'm always gonna catch a bus
Or I'm gonna catch a train
Or my life's gonna rust
Right in front of my eyes
City living is a lie
Take me back to my countryside
And I'm gonna go away for a while
We're city living
There's a whole world
Contained within the limits
City living
City living
It don't care what you do
It's always spinning
City living
A city living
There's a whole world
Contained within the limits
City living
A city living
There's a time for you to leave
It's now or never
We're city living
City living
It's like you're just swimming in a cesspool
Of me's and you's
You'll never get out
You'll never get your due
You're city living
There's a whole world
Contained within its limits
