Downtown

If there was a place downtown
That they talked about every day
Then I'd wanna move uptown
Tell the microphone he can't play
Tell the acid man we don't want to
Tell the microphone he can't play
Tell the acid man we don't want to
Oh
There's not a lot that you (you) can say
To make the microphone man go away
There's not a lot you can say
To make the microphone man go away
There isn't a lot you can say
I don't want to (I don't want to)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
I don't want to (I don't want to)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I don't want to
