City Song
Jane's Addiction

In the city there is something to see

In the city there is nothing to breathe

I'm goin' 'bout my business

I'm wondering what I'm missing and


And on my way home

Hid in my coat

I wrote my name on the city wall

Being famous


In the city there is a park bench you can sleep out on

The city there is a trash can you can eat out of

I'm goin' 'bout my business

Ahh, I'm wondering what I'm missing



And on my way home

A cop said no

I said, There is a man with a stick and a gun in his hand

Being famous


Red man in the city, poor man in the city

Black man in the city, fat man in the city

Ahh, red man, black man, fat man, blue man

I don't know the rest of the words

'Cause I made it up just for you, ohh, ohh, ohh

Just for you
