JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics : "In The City"

As a child on the farm
I was warned of the wiles of the city
Of that demon disguise

As the dirt in the skies of the city

Well they say the proximity warps their minds

Until they're shooting one another just pass the time
And we live it appears
Both in spite and in fear of the city


I was constantly told
How our lives were controlled by the city

How they keep us in debt
With the trends that they set it's a pity


Now the beautiful people in the magazines
Got the normal ones living beyond their means
And the things that they said

Made me go in my head to the city

When I finally came

There's some things still the same in the city
You still lie under the thumb
Of the rich and the young and the pretty


Well they weren't much different than we might act
If there was that many others that closely packed

It's an ancient idea
But it struck me so clear in the city
