just like rats in a concrete maze
|
they all starve for the wage raise bait
|
i'm dying to escape
|
self made men with their plastic cash
|
big talk plans and kissing ass
|
just ain't my strategy
|
|
uptown is gonna sell me
|
downtown is gonna kill me
|
uptown is gonna take me
|
downtown i'm clenching to my soul
|
uptown (oh)
|
alive without control
|
downtown (oh)
|
alive without control
|
uptown (oh)
|
alive without control
|
|
puppet shows from 9-5
|
they dress up slaves in a suit and tie
|
they're living to die
|
follow the leader not your heart
|
simon says boy you'll go far
|
like lemmings in the dark
|
|
uptown is gonna sell me
|
downtown is gonna kill me
|
uptown is gonna take me
|
downtown i'm clenching to my soul
|
uptown (oh)
|
alive without control
|
downtown (oh)
|
alive without control
|
uptown (oh)
|
alive without control
|
|
i said uptown is gonna sell me
|
downtown is gonna kill me
|
uptown is gonna take me
|
(oh no) i'm clenching to my soul
|
uptown
|
|
uptown (oh)
|
alive without control
|
downtown (oh)
|
alive without control
|
uptown (oh)
|
alive without control
|
|

|
alive without control
|

|

|
