Lost in the city
So cold and so dirty
It's a sight that's not pretty for your pretty eyes
Locked in this prison,
Slaves to the system
On the road to oblivion...no future!
I don't care
What they say, no
Can't stay, no way, no way
I said no, no, no, no, no...
Don't give a damn, what your mama say
Don't give a damn, what your papa say
Don't give a damn, I only give a damn about you
Don't give a damn, what the government say
Don't give a damn, what the cermon say
Don't give a damn, I only give a damn about you.
Then terror we've been living
Is of our own invention
A wave of depression
Is gonna keep you down...
There's a place beyond the city
They say I'm only dreamin'
But I know it's reality I've seen it in your pretty eyes
I don't care, what they say, no no
We can't stay, no way, no way
I said no, no, no, no, no, no.
Don't give a damn, what the authority say
Don't give a damn, what the history book say
Don't give a damn, I only give a damn about you.
Don't give a damn, what your cards say
Don't give a damn, what your bumper say
Don't give a damn, I only give a damn about you.
About you...
I Don't give a damn what your mama say
I Don't give a damn what your papa say
I Don't give a damn what the cermon say
I Don't give a damn what the government say
Don't give a damn,
Don't give a damn,
Don't give a damn, I only give a damn about you.
Don't give a damn,
Don't give a damn,
Don't give a damn, I only give a damn about you...
