Progress is so good

You've got to keep it moving

You have to be rich

Or richer than your father

Money matters always seem to get you down

But money doesn't matter when you're dead

Everything will be alright

If you just have some fun

Oh, race to the city

Race to the city, now

Race to the city

You can race, you can race, you can race, you can race

You can race

Progress feels so good

But everything has limits

And if you keep this up

You'll be back where you started

'Cos money matters never seem to give you time

Someday you'll just have to stop

You try to leave it all behind

But you can't get enough

So, race to the city

Race to the city, now

Come on, race to the city

Race to the city, now

Oh, come on

City life is a lie

Oh, come on

Come on

City life is a lie

You can race, you can race, you can race, you can race

You can race to the city

Race to the city, now

Come on, race to the city

Race to the city, now

Oh, come on

City life is a lie

Oh, come on

Oh, come on

City life is a lie
