C G D G (play 6 times. Bass comes in on 3rd, drums on 5th).
In the city theres a thousand things I wanna say to you,
But whenever I approach you, you make me look a fool.
I wanna say, I wanna tell ya, about the young ideas,
But you turn with all ya fears.
In the city theres a thousand faces that are shining light,
And all of their faces, look under twenty five.
They wanna say, they gonna tell ya, about the young ideas,
About this and now ya said your bit.
(scrape plectrum down string),And I know what your thinking,
instead they carry crap, but ya better not listen man,
because the kids know where its at.
In the city theres a thousand men in uniform,
And I thought they never had the right, to kill a man.
We wanna say, we gonna tell ya, about a young idea,
And if it dont work at least we say we tried.
oi (shout)
In the city. (x4)
In the city theres a thousand things I wanna say to you.
