I've been watching over time
And I've been hearing all the lies
Living in the city oh
♪
Everything that you said to me
How it's supposed to be
If nothing is how it seems
Living in the city oh
All the people they came to see
All the lights and make believe
If nothing is how it seems
Living in the city oh
At the races, in your braces
How it's meant to be
All the diamonds, wanna please ya
I want you here, with me
Hey oh, Hey oh
I'll be down with the dogs
I've been watching over time
I've been hearing all the lies
If you listen real close
(Everything that you said to me)
And you look at their clothes
(How it's supposed to be)
And you look at their houses
(If nothing is how it seems, living in the city oh)
If you listen real close
(All the people they came to see)
And you look at their clothes
(All the lights and make believe)
And you look at their houses
(If nothing is how it seems, living in the city oh)
(Whoah, Whoah, Whoah)
Living in the city oh
Sing 'Common People' on the dance floor
Living underground
The delusions in the dungeons
Drowning out the sound
Hey oh, Hey oh
I'll be down with the dogs
