You the anti-hip 
You the anti-hype 
So seriously do you take your job 
You've created an entirely new type of attitude
Probably snobbery, possibly virtue 
But I never knew 
So I left you

Chicago
You wanted the best for me
Kind of like my friend Andy 
Who asked: 
"What are you going to do when you grow up?
Won't you run out of music ideas? Aren't there only twelve notes?"

Hey New York is my sanctuary 
Where the bankers are actors 
And the waiters all are stars
It's a big celebration
Oooh yeah 

We're all waiting on 
A nuclear bomb 
To blow us away 
Some of us would probably escape 
And found a new New York 
Maybe in Ohio 
Where dreams could still come true 

Not sure if I'll get away 
But I'll still plan my escape 
Pick up the few friends I have left 
In Harlem and the East Village
Oh I forgot they already moved away 
They couldn't afford to live here 
And they were tired of being scared every day 
Chorus
Maybe I'll go home 
Where people are humble and strong
And they get the best stuff 
Like Second City and Steppenwolf 
And maybe that's because they know the difference
Between talent and attitude

And there are rarely any breast implants 
Jenny McCarthy was our only one
They're just wasted under winter coats 
When there's never any sun 
And the terrain doesn't change for thousands of miles 
New boobs would be too big a change over too little time 
And at the end of the play
As the actor leaves the stage 
An audience member with a compulsion to make everything the same
Is bound to say:
"But what do you do for your real job?
"What do you do for your real job? 
That was really great but what do you do for your real job?"
And that's when I think I'll stay in….

Chorus
