Lyrics

Yeah bells are ringing on your alarm clock It's six in the morning, man the race don't stop I just shit, shower, shave, make it to the station Waiting for the train, god damn the train late again Hit the streets and they are seething Duck and weave, begging, stealing Got no kneeling and your feeling That you want it more That's how it goes, livin' in the city Everybody getting down to the nitty gritty They don't look back, they don't take no pity Hey you know I never said it would be pretty That's how it goes, livin' in the city Everybody getting down to the nitty gritty They don't look back, they don't take no pity Well I head to the office and delete my spam What be, delete my plans Working everyday for the god damn man Sometimes I wonder just who I am Where I'm gonna go, don't know Gonna have a dental "?" then I'm gonna move coastal Everything gonna be just fine, working every day on my gold Mine That's how it goes, livin' in the city Everybody getting down to the nitty gritty They don't look back, they don't take no pity Hey you know I never said it would be pretty That's how it goes, livin' in the city Everybody getting down to the nitty gritty They don't look back, they don't take no pity {SOLO} That's how it goes, livin' in the city Everybody getting down to the nitty gritty They don't look back, they don't take no pity Hey you know I never said it would be pretty That's how it goes, livin' in the city Everybody getting down to the nitty gritty They don't look back, they don't take no pity That's how it goes, livin' in the city Everybody getting down to the nitty gritty They don't look back, they don't take no pity Hey you know I never said it would be pretty That's how it goes, livin' in the city Everybody getting down to the nitty gritty They don't look back, they don't take no pity
