| There’s a young man with
|
| Dirt on his hands
|
| There’s a room of sweat
|
| Full of one night stands
|
| A life of regret in a rock and roll band
|
| A whole lot of debt
|
| And a pocket full of sand
|
| There’s a sick mother
|
| Can’t find her lost son
|
| And there’s a father
|
| Didn’t know he had one
|
| Run down caddy
|
| In the neighbor’s backyard
|
| Where the kid got shot
|
| And it all fell apart
|
| Just another day in the city life
|
| Just another day where we live or die
|
| We’re all prayin' through the smoke filled sky
|
| Just another day in the city life, city life
|
| There’s a law man and
|
| He’s loosin' his touch
|
| Trapped a loose cannon
|
| Says he won’t lose much
|
| A prospect picked and
|
| He’s earnin' his patch
|
| Dealt a dirty deed and
|
| It’s paid for in cash
|
| Pressure’s so thick
|
| You forget how to breathe
|
| You gotta get drunk just
|
| To blow off some steam
|
| So many lights but
|
| We’re kept in the dark
|
| Yeah they can take it all
|
| But we still got heart
|
| Just another day in the city life
|
| Just another day where we live or die
|
| We’re all prayin' through the smoke filled sky
|
| Just another day in the city life
|
| There’s no need to be nervous
|
| We were born to fight
|
| Sons and daughters we can
|
| Take it outside
|
| Follow the lead
|
| Lead me to water
|
| Do what it takes
|
| Then take it from me
|
| There ain’t nothin' left
|
| You can read me my rights
|
| Carry the load in the city life
|
| Just another day in the city life
|
| Just another day where we live or die
|
| We’re all prayin' through the smoke filled sky
|
| Just another day in the city life
|
| Just another day in the city life
|
| Just another day where we live or die
|
| We’re all waitin' for some kind of sign
|
| Just another day in the city life, city life |
