Well, I recall days in the city

                     Eb          Db
And I think back, Oh what a pity

             Eb                 Db
Remembering how it wasn't pretty

Every day life in the city

Out in the street we had to take it

             Eb                    Db
With friends around, couldn't fake it

Hanging out down in the city

We had to fight to be accepted

It wasn't right and I protested

We'd go to school and then we'd cut out

               Eb                     Db
Go to the park and space our heads out

               Eb                      Db
We called it fun but there was some doubt
