Jimmy Buffett - The City текст песни

Ahhhhhh

Ah, ahhhhhh

Ah, ahhhhhh

As a child on the farm

I was warned of the wiles of the city

Of that demon disguise

Theres the dirt in the skies of the city

Well they say the proximity warps their minds

til theyre shooting one another just pass the time

And we live it appears

Both in spite and in fear of the city

Oooohhh, ooohhhh yeah

Oooohhh

I was constantly told

How our lives were controlled by the city

How they keep us in debt

With the trends that they set its a pity

Now the beautiful people in the magazines

Got the normal ones living beyond their means

And the things that they said

Made me go in my head to the city

Oooohhh

Ahhhhhhh

Ah, ahhhhhh

Ah, ahhhhhh

When I finally came

Theres some things still the same in the city

You still lie under the thumb

Of the rich and the young and the pretty

Well they werent much different than we might act

If there was that many others that closely packed

Its an ancient idea

But it struck me so clear in the city

Oooohhh, ooohhhh yeah

Oooohhh, ooohhhh yeah

Oooohhh

Ahhhhhh

Ah, ahhhhhh

Ah, ahhhhhh
