Meanwhile Back in the City
The Presidents of the United States of America
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I was standing quiet, alone in a crowded disco When a man I did not know showed me the door And told me I had to go Well, that kind of humiliation never happens on farm That's why city living does the psyche such harm And I said... Fire escapes don't work until there's a fire You gotta sleep on the floor Live in the mud There's no need to go higher Once you taste a brick, you won't want more Saving sanity is no trick when your livin' outdoors Well, it did not take me long to realize my mistake When garbage trucks messed up my dreams, I knew my dreams were fake Don't know how people gonna live like this Pigeons might enjoy it but I can't live in this mess, and I said... Fire escapes don't work until there's a fire You gotta sleep on the floor Live in the mud There's no need to go higher Once you taste a brick, you can't chew and talk Saving sanity is no trick when your livin' in a room the size of a shoe box So, finally, all the wires and plastic got to me Ideas and realizations were passing right through me I did not take a train, a plane, or bus with wings Man wasn't meant to fly Besides, walking does the same thing: gets me outta here Fire escapes don't work until there's a fire You gotta sleep on the floor Live in the mud There's no need to go higher Once you taste a brick, you won't want more Saving sanity is a trick when you're livin' on someone else's floor Hi, wassup, how you doing? It's good to see ya What's your name again? I can't remember Times up, gotta go
