Though this city's got a heart of stone I'll never doubt its sincerity It tries so hard to kick you down But you'll always kick back so strong and mighty Though our past holds some dark secrets And we always seem to quarrel over it Optimism is in short supply But we've got to keep staking our claims for our way of life Though my mind keeps Turning Round in circles At a million miles an hour I've got to keep it fixed on how I'm gonna change the world Before tomorrow comes and sweeps me off my feet And I am left with very few options but to keep on To keep on roaming the streets This feeling of exclusion It never seems to get me down I'm satisfied being on my own In the knowledge I could live in no better town Though our past holds some dark secrets And we always seem to quarrel over it Optimism is in short supply But we've got to keep staking our claims for our way of life Though my mind keeps Turning Round in circles At a million miles an hour I've got to keep it fixed on how I'm gonna change the world Before tomorrow comes and sweeps me off my feet And I am left with very few options but to keep on To keep on roaming the streets Though my mind keeps Turning Round in circles At a million miles an hour I've got to keep it fixed on how I'm gonna change the world Before tomorrow comes and sweeps me off my feet And I am left with very few options but to keep on To keep on roaming the streets To keep on roaming the streets I'm roaming the streets
