You pack your bags  And you move to the city  There's somethin' missin' here at home  You fix your hair  And you're lookin' real pretty  It's time to get it out on your own  You're always fightin'  With your mama and you papa  Your family life is one big pain!  When you, you gonna move to the city?  Into the city where it all began    You gotta move, You gotta move  Ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma  Time you gotta move    You stole your mama's car  And your daddy's plastic credit card  You're sixteen and you can't get a job  You're not goin' very far  You're always ridin'  With the teachers and the police  This life is much too insane!  When you, you gonna move to the city?  Into the city where it all began    You gotta move, You gotta move  Ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma  Time you gotta move  Right to the city  Where the real men get it  Aw, child, ain't it a pity?  Sometimes it gets too shitty!  Come on and hit me!    You're on the streets  And it ain't so pretty  You need to get a new what you please  You do what you gotta do for the money  At times you end up on your knees!    I'm always buyin'  With the local and the junkies  This city life is one big pain!  But you, you had to move to the city  Into the city where it all began    You gotta move, You gotta move  Ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma  Time you gotta move  Oh right to the city  With the real nitty gritty  Aw, child, ain't it a pity?  Sometimes it gets too shitty!  Come on and hit me!
