BIG CITY GAME
VERSE 1
2nd level home, 23rd is work,
Another level love, everything berserk
Warm blooded flows, through city veins
Cold blooded attitude, people insane
Arteries to work, bypass the blocked,
Self-injected underground, the network-stocked,
Nearer to the heart, the city beat is best
Polluted city lungs being put to the test
No one to answer, I am to blame
Rolling the dice, with no number or no name
CHORUS
Don’t know what to do when I’m caught up in the blues
In the big city game
Don’t know how to scream, evacuate the dream
Every dream is the same
Here I go roll the dice, move forward
Playin’ to stay alive
Rollin’ the dice in the Big City Game
Rollin’ the dice with no number or no name
VERSE 2
Parliament the pacemaker, finance the brains
Overpriced real estate an anal pain
Metropolitan inaccessibility means big city living,
Nothing is free
Poverty a virus, a tumour called wealth
The tumour getting bigger, no loss of health,
Not in recession consumption the cure
Starts with you and I ends up in the sewer
No one to answer, I am to blame
Rolling the dice, with no number or no name
CHORUS
Don’t know what to do when I’m caught up in the blues
In the big city game
Don’t know how to scream, evacuate the dream
Every dream is the same
Here I go roll the dice, move forward
Playin’ to stay alive
No-one to answer I am to blame
Rolling the dice with no number
And me … I have no name
