[Verse 1]
Somewhere out on that horizon
Out beyond the neon lights
I know there must be somethin` better
But there`s nowhere else in sight
It`s survival in the city
When you live from day to day
City streets don`t have much pity
When you`re down, that`s where you`ll stay
[Chorus]
In the city (what, what, whoop, whoop, hey, hey)
In the city (what, what, whoop, whoop, hey, hey)
In the city (what, what, whoop, whoop, hey, hey)
In the city
I know there must be somethin` better (far away from the neon sky)
I know there must be somethin` better (far away from the city lights)
I know there must be somethin` better (far away from the neon sky)
I know there must be somethin` better (I need a blunt so I can get high)
[Verse 2]
I was born here in the city
With my back against the wall
Nothing grows, and life ain`t very pretty
No one`s there to catch you when you fall
Somewhere out on that horizon
Far away from the neon sky
I know there must be somethin` better
And I can`t stay another night
[Chorus]
In the city (what, what, whoop, whoop, hey, hey)
In the city (what, what, whoop, whoop, hey, hey)
In the city (what, what, whoop, whoop, hey, hey)
In the city
I know there must be somethin` better (far away from the neon sky)
I know there must be somethin` better (far away from the city lights)
I know there must be somethin` better (far away from the neon sky)
I know there must be somethin` better (I need a blunt so I can get high)
