Cities

(in this city, in this city,
Yeah and it takes you down
In this city, in this city,
Yeah and it takes you down)
We watch, people from the other side
Try not to feel connected
It's funny that we don't try
Instead we lie, shut out eyes
Don't just lie there
Get up and say
That this is not okay
I'm sure that you were just afraid of what they might say
In this city that takes you down
(whoa oh)
I'm sure you felt it when they frown
We watch, people come and pass us by
We try not to feel affected
It's funny that we don't try
Open eyes
Televise
Don't just lie there
Get up and say
That this is not okay
I'm sure that you were just afraid of what they might say
In this city that takes you down
Yeah
(whoa oh)
I'm sure you felt it when they frown
Yeah
Don't just lie there
Get up and say
That this is not okay
I'm sure that you were just afraid of what they might say
(in this city, in this city,
Yeah and it takes you down
In this city, in this city,
Yeah and it takes you down
In this city, in this city,
Yeah and it takes you down)
Don't just lie there
Get up and say
I'm sure that you were just afraid of what they might say
In this city that takes you down
Yeah
(whoa oh)
I'm sure you felt it when they frown
Yeah
In this city, it takes you
(in this city it takes you)
In this city, it takes you down
