That's life in the big city   You beg for mercy but you get no pity   Low-life zero mentality   Vandalized victims of depravity      Fast food, take-out mentality   Where the dogs eat the dogs and the innocent bleed   The city can't cope and the cops don't care   There's fear in the streets and it's a jungle out there      I don't want it, don't want it   Don't want it, don't want it      Somebody stole my car   Somebody stole my automobile   They ripped off the radio and sold the wheels   And if it's happened to you then you know how I feel   Somebody stole my car      Somebody stole my car   I left it parked outside my home   It had a new A/C and a cellular phone   And I'm as sick as a dog 'cause I'm still paying off the loan   Somebody stole my car      That's life in the metropolis   Living on credit and overdrawn interest   Craving commercialized commodities   Everything advertised, stirring up greed      Everyday I wonder why, everyday I can't get away   The city's in debt, up past its ears   Yet we still borrow more and pay it back next year   Now I'm paying for a car that I no longer own   And the next time anybody offers me a loan, I'll say      I don't want it, don't want it   Don't want it, don't want it      Somebody stole my car   It's just been cleaned and I've just had it taxed   It had brand-new stereo speakers in the back   And I call up the cops with a panic attack   Somebody stole my car      Somebody stole my car   I bet they're riding around and running red lights   Got chicks in the back and ballin' all night   While I sit at home getting more uptight   Somebody stole my car      Somebody stole my car   Somebody stole my automobile   They ripped off the radio and sold the wheels   And if it's happened to you then you know how it feels   Somebody stole my car      Don't want it, don't want it   Don't want it, don't want it, don't      Somebody stole my car   Somebody stole my car   Somebody stole my car      That's life in the metropolis   Possessions mean nothing in a world like this   Some punks wanna ride and they see my car   So they take it, shake it, burn it up and break it, hey, that's my car      Somebody stole my car   Somebody stole my car   Somebody stole my car      Beep beep, beep beep, yeah
