The City - Live

Ahhhhhh
 Ah, ahhhhhh
 Ah, ahhhhhh
 As a child on the farm
 I was warned of the wiles of the city
 Of that demon disguise
 There's the dirt in the skies of the city
 Well they say the proximity warps their minds
 'til they're shooting one another just pass the time
 And we live it appears
 Both in spite and in fear of the city
 Oooohhh, ooohhhh yeah
 Oooohhh
 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
 Oooohhh
 Ahhhhhhh
 Ah, ahhhhhh
 Ah, ahhhhhh
 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
 Oooohhh, ooohhhh yeah
 Oooohhh, ooohhhh yeah
 Oooohhh
 Ahhhhhh
 Ah, ahhhhhh
 Ah, ahhhhhh
