Lyrics

[00:16.11] In the city there's a thousand things I want to say to you
[00:21.40] But whenever I approach you, you make me look a fool
[00:27.09] I wanna say, I wanna tell you
[00:32.15] About the young ideas
[00:34.30] But you turn them into fears
[00:39.00] In the city there's a thousand faces, all shining bright
[00:44.49] And those golden faces are under twenty-five
[00:50.00] They wanna say, they gonna tell ya
[00:54.70] About the young idea
[00:57.00] You better listen now you've said your bit-a, go!
[01:18.35] And I know what you're thinking
[01:20.52] You still think I am crap
[01:23.80] But you'd better listen, man
[01:25.74] Because the kids know where it's at
[01:32.00] In the city there's a thousand men in uniforms
[01:37.49] And I've heard they now have the right to kill a man
[01:43.32] We wanna say, we gonna tell ya
[01:48.00] About the young idea
[01:50.18] And if it don't work, at least we said we've tried
[01:56.47] In the city, in the city
[02:01.87] In the city, in the city
[02:06.00] In the city there's a thousand things I want to say to you
