Smoking marijuana

Watching channel five

Got to get my strength up

In this struggle to survive



Everyone's an asshole

Everyone's a creep

I look out my window

And there's garbage in the streets



I live in the city

I breathe dirty air

I ride trains with b-boys

junkies, queens and squares



Everybody's hungry

I don't know what to do

I used to live on pizza

Now I live on Chinese food



I can't stand my neighbors

Screaming all the time

If I wasn't blasting Sister ray

I could lose my mind



I live in the city

I breathe dirty air

I ride trains with b-boys

junkies, queens and squares



Safely someone's smiling

The fat man waits his turn

Soon he'll count his money

While the south Bronx slowly burns

Get out for the children

Get your ass and run

Get out of this stinkin mess

To a safe suburban slum



I live in the city

I breathe dirty air

I ride trains with b-boys

junkies, queens and squares
