Let's celebrate,let's celebrate living in the city
Yea yeah,aye aye,yea yeah,yeeaah
Sitting in cafés,drinking Brazil
Whatching old ladies,struggle up the hill
The sun is winking at me,giving me the eye
There's no better place to whatch the time trickle by
Co's we're living in the city,there ain't no room for peace
Wow we're living in the city,there ain't no time for sleep
Hey,we're living in the city,where everything is free
Oh,where I wanna be,hey hey is living in the city
City eeh,city ehhh
Walking round the buildings,watching pictures on the wall
People lying homeless,got no love at all
Standing next to history,everything is grand
People from the country never understand
That we're living in the city,there ain't no time for peace
Wo oh living in the city,there ain't no room for sleep
Hey,living in the city,where everything is free
Oh,where I wanna be,hey hey,is living in the city
City eeh eeh,city ehhhh
City eeeh eeh,city ehhhh
Find yourself a place (oh find a place yourself)
Where there's caring and there's sharing
Find yourself a space,where there's loving(loving),hoping(hoping),touching,feeling feeling
Living in,living in,living in,living in,living in,living in,living in,living in
Where I wanna be,where I wanna be
Oh,oh,ah ah ah,oh,ah ah
