Inner city life,
Inner city pressure,
The concrete world,
Is starting to get ya,

The city is expanding,
Living in the city,
Can be demanding.

Everything,
Everything you own,
Your toothbrush, jar,
And a camera phone.

Where you're going,
You cross the street,
You don't kno,
Why you did,
You walk back,
Across the street.

Standing in,
The sitting room,
Totally skint,
And your favorite,
Jersey is,
Covered in lint.

But you sold your chair,
So you just, stand there.

Counting coins on,
The counter of the 7-11,
From a quarter past six,
'Til a quarter to seven.

The manager Bevan,
Starts to abuse me;
Hey man, I just,
Want some Muesli.
C
Neon signs,
Hidden messages,
Questions, answers,
Fetishes.
F
You know you're,
Not in high finance,
Considering getting,
Second hand underpants.
C
Check your mind,
How'd it get so bad?
What happened to those,
Other underpants you had?
F
Look in your pockets,
Haven't found a cent yet,
Landlords on your balls;
"Have you paid your rent yet?"

So you think maybe,
You'll be a prostitute,
Just to pay for your lessons;
You're learning the flute.

You very much for this,
Looks like you'll never,
Be a concert flautist.

To the expectation,
When you're unemployed,

No one sympathizes,
You just stay home,
And play synthesizers.
