Got a woman that loves me [compare "Life In The City"]

And I love her so [compare "Life In The City"]

But she's all dressed up now [compare "Life In The City"]

With nowhere to go [compare "Life In The City"]



All our old hang-outs [compare "Life In The City"]

Are boarded up and closed [compare "Life In The City"]

Or bein' bought by somebody [compare "Life In The City"]

Nobody knows [compare "Life In The City"]



But things ain't that bad

We still got the kids

We're goin' out to the movies

Right after this



Goin' back to school

Savin' up my tuition

Gonna rewrite all the rules

On the old blackboard



'Cause it seems things today

There ain't no magic in 'em

They don't cut the grade

Like they used to



[CHORUS]

Depression blues

Nowhere to go

Bein' bought by somebody

Nobody knows



Is there anybody out there

With a voice loud and clear [compare "Crime In The City"]

Gonna sing all the words

That we all wanna hear



[CHORUS
