Been living in the city too long now   Even my lungs have started to groan   Everybody is singing their own song   Sometimes I wanna sing alone   Never been a primadonna   Never seem to wanna be the one to complain   Enough's too much and now I'm gonna   Stop the madness soon before it drives me insane      So, take me where the sun won't shine on me   Take me where my conscience won't go   Take me where the sun won't shine on me   Don't tell me I'm backing out cos I don't wanna know         Everyone around this town is so angry   Blaring horns, swearing, shaking fists   If everybody in the world was a hit man   We'd wipe each other off each other's hit lists   Who wants to stand and be counted   All anger ever amounted to was lines on your face   I don't want to be the one to start the shouting   I'm part of this society and I know my place         (chorus)         Everything around this town is so boring   Nothing changes, nothing doesn't stay the same   Ten years ago when we had high ideals   We couldn't wait to play the protest game   But now we have our thing together   Brand new leather, three bank accounts   Who cares about the starving millions   We're just happy that our cheques don't bounce         (chorus)
