Inner city life, inner city pressure
|
The concrete world is starting to get ya
|
The city is alive, the city is expanding
|
Living in the city can be demanding
|
You've pawned everything, everything you own
|
Your toothbrush jar and a camera phone
|
You don't know where you're going
|
You cross the street
|
You don't know why you did
|
You walk back across the street
|
Standing in the sitting room, totally skint
|
And your favorite jersey is covered in lint
|
You want to sit down but you sold your chair
|
So you just stand there
|
You just stand there
|
You just stand there
|

|
Counting coins on the counter of the 7-Eleven
|
From a quarter past six till a quarter to seven
|
The manager, Bevan, starts to abuse me
|
"Hey man, I just want some Muesli."
|
Neon signs, hidden messages
|
Questions, answers, fetishes
|
You know you're not in high finance
|
Considering second hand underpants
|
Check your mind, how'd it get so bad?
|
What happened to those other underpants you had
|
Look in your pockets, haven't found a cent yet
|
Landlord's on your balls, "Have you paid your rent yet?"

So you think maybe you'll be a prostitute
|
Just to pay for your lessons, you're learning the flute
|
The ladies wouldn't pay you very much for this
|
Looks like you'll never be a concert flautist
|
You don't measure up to the expectation
|
When you're unemployed there's no vacation
|
No one cares, no one sympathizes
|
You just stay home and play synthesizers

All you'll find is

You've lost perspective like a picture by Escher
|
It's the pressure
