The city

The city

Mindlessness is great
Wasting all those hours
It's not me and you
It's all about the power

So scatter it to the wind
And dismiss it if you can
And pour your genius into
Stupid little plans

****
Chorus:
****

Because
The city is an octopuss
That arms itself with pain
And if you wonder what that sound is
It's just me singin from the drain

It's been our observation
Our transcendental key
We'd like to help you out some
But it's against our policy

****
****

Eat some peanut butter
Eat some jelly too
Because everyone is perfect
All except for you

And no one's got a problem
Or one that can't be solved
With noses to the grindstone
Troubles just dissolve

****
Repeat Chorus:
****

I'm really kinda busy
You know short on time
I gotta let you go
If you don't mind

Oh about that agreement
This'll have to suffice
I just said that other
To be nice

****
Repeat chorus:
****

Because
The city is an octopuss
That arms itself with pain
And if you wonder what that sound is
It's just me singin from the drain

It's been our observation
Our transcendental key
We'd like to help you out some
But it's against

It's against
Our policy
