(Living?) in the city streets no more (no more)
 
After 20 years, my life is a bore (a bore)
 
My body's aching and I just wanna scream (I scream)
 
Good life in the city is just a dream (a dream)
 
'''(Chorus)'''
 
I said, oh, woah-woah-whoa-ooh
I say I'm talking 'bout you give, forgive, you get and forget
I said you give, forgive, you get and forget
I said you give, forgive, you get and forget
I said you give, forgive, you get and forget
Ooh-whoa, whoa-oh

I used to hate you, baby, but know I know (I know)
You wouldn't give up, you wouldn't let me go (let me go)
And now my best friend's girl, she is a whore (a whore)
The city's soul is rotten to the core, yeah!

It's just, have a snort and forget about your life (well, I tried now kid)
Doesn't matter that to get it, he used a knife (well, who really cares)
Hey you, I got nothing here to do (but we like you kid)
Yeah, I know, I used to like you too, but no more!
I said I'm sick and tired of all you so called-friends (so called-friends)
In my eyes, you're all standing in dead-ends (in dead-ends)
But I know in all of you, there's a lie (there's a lie)
Shining brighter, brighter than a neon light, yeah!

I say I'm talking 'bout you give, forgive, you get and forget
I said you give, forgive, you get and forget
