Big City

(album: We Have Come For Your Children - 1978)

Too late to go back home
Stranded in the streets
Sweating in the heat
Don't care to be a star
Pounding on the door
Sleeping on the floor

Big City ain't too pretty
Big City nice and loud
Big City don't want no pity
Big city's one big crowd

No chance to make the big time
I've been trying hard
Got to take it far
No love along the way
I've been moving fast
Got to make it last

Big City ain't too pretty
Big City nice and loud
Big City don't want no pity
Big city's one big crowd

They say no no no everywhere I go
But I'm gonna win
Fight the odds against God
Here in the city of sin, in the city of sin

I gotta get ahead
Too many schemes
Too many dreams
I gotta be somebody
Gotta bleed
For the things I need

Big City ain't too pretty
Big City nice and loud
Big City don't want no pity
Big city's one big crowd

Big City ain't too pretty
Big City nice and loud
Big City don't want no pity
Big city's one big crowd
