In the big city, where the lights are low Cold dirty ground, where the rivers don't flow Nothing's gonna change so throw it all away In the big city, where the kids will come cheap And monsters prowl and never sleep Don't cross the road if you haven't got the time of day Well, I lost my girl waitin' for the train from Ride I know she's out there somewhere Selling all we got but I don't mind In the big city, you can walk a thin line And your mother won't know that you do a bit of crime Your father's on the dole and he really hasn't got the time In the big city, where it's hard to see the sky Black earth trembles when the trains go by Bums on the corner tell you gently crawl up and die Well, I lost my girl and I missed my train to Ride And I'm stuck here sellin' papers And spittin' on the ground when you walk by Break In the big city, you can dance all night Only if you're clean and the lads are not uptight Or you may as well forget it until the broad daylight In the big city, where the suits don't look you in the eye Learn how to laugh, you'll be plannin' when to die Don't expect favours when the cars go passing by I lost my girl waitin' for the train from Ride Well, I don't mind matching colours or parkin' people's cars And telling little lies if that's alright In the big city, in the big city, in the big city In the big city, in the big city, in the big city
