Lyrics
City Kid
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Born into a concrete mess
Raised between cardboard walls
Holes in their shoes, empty pockets
Here they are, crying for more
You can't fool a city kid
City kids are here to stay
You better learn to cope with it
You can't fool a city kid
Anywhere they go around
They can hear yer boring sound
Covered in money you lie and scheme
Shooting holes into a guttersnipe's dreams
Born into a concrete mess
Raised between cardboard walls
Holes in their shoes, empty pockets
Here they are, crying for more
