Dirty City

The story of my life was such

Nobody wanted to hear

And every time I told it

They put their hands across their ears

So I went down to the dirty city

Where the people live on dreams

And I sang out on the corner

Trying to turn the heads of kings and queens

Yeah, I sang ooh

I sang ooh

I sang ooh to the dirty city

Then I noticed the back of a matchbox

And it didn't make much sense at all

It said people heading to the stars

Get a better chance to fall

I thought that's no good to you and me

We got so far to go

Then I realized though truth is free

It's only the lies that show

Yeah, I sang ooh

I sang ooh

I sang ooh to the dirty city

Some people work hard for all their lives

And never get a thing

Some people seem to do nothing

But have all that life can bring

Well, you and I, we've been working so hard

Trying to get somewhere

Oh, but maybe when we do that

We find we really, really didn't care

Yeah, we sang ooh

We sang ooh

We sang ooh to the dirty city

We sang ooh

We sang ooh

We sang ooh
