this city it has a deathwish
everybody is so impatient
get in line just to stand in a line
everybody's doing better
we're all doing fine
nobody wants to hang around
everybody's going down, down
everybody has got something to say
but nobody wants to listen anyway
cause they dont want you to listen
and they're not gonna teach
that what you want is just out of reach
they're not gonna lecture
and they're not gonna preach
that what you want is just out of reach
this city is so impatient
everybody's always changing stations
nobody listens, nobody stops
to realize we cant all rise to the top
everybody wants success, nobody wants a mess
nobody wants the stress of being lonely
everybody wants to guess, but who is blessed?
trapped in the mess with all the phonies
cause they dont want you to listen
and they're not gonna teach
that what you want is just out of reach
they're not gonna lecture
and they're not gonna preach
that what you want is just out of reach
