If I lived in the city I'd be near all of my friends
But I would be too busy to see any of them
We could plan a date out but one of us would flake out
If I lived in the city I'd be near all of my friends
If I lived in the city all I'd want is elbow room
A studio apartment, oh no, what the f*cks that gonna do
The neighbors living upstairs would stomp around without care
If I lived in the city all I'd want is elbow room
But I know I'm just being a drag
My outlook blows, but I'm just looking at the facts
Theres nowhere to put your car, man, f*ck this traffic too
The lights outshine the stars and the air is bad for you
Man, I hate the phrase but its greener on the other side
When I need to escape it all theres no place for me to hide
If I lived in the city I'd look past all of that
Calm down all my gripes drink tee outside my flat
I'd feed the squirrels stale bread
(Even though I know it's bad for them)
And build houses for the birds
If I lived in the city I'd pretend I'm in the woods
If I lived in the city I'd pretend I lived in the woods
