|
That's life in the big city |
|
You beg for mercy but you got no pity |
|
Low-life zero mentality |
|
Vandalized victims of depravity |
|
Fast food, take-out mentality |
|
Where the dogs eat the dogs |
|
And the innocent bleed |
|
The city can't cope and the cops don't care |
|
There's fear in the streets |
|
It's a jungle out there |
|
I don't want it, don't want it |
|
Don't want it, don't want it |
|
Chorus: |
|
Somebody stole my car |
|
Somebody stole my automobile |
|
They ripped off the radio and sold the wheels |
|
And if it's happened to you |
|
Then you know how I feel |
|
Somebody stole my car |
|
somebody stole my car |
|
I left it parked outside of my home |
|
It had a new A/C and a cellular phone |
|
And I'm as sick as a dog |
|
'Cos I'm still paying off the loan |
|
Somebody stole my car |
|
That's life in the metropolis |
|
Living on credit and overdrawn interest |
|
Craving commercialized commodities |
|
Everything advertised, stirring up greed |
|
Everyday I wonder why |
|
Everyday I can't get away |
|
The city's in debt, up past its ears |
|
Yet we still borrow more |
|
And pay it back next year |
|
Now I'm paying for a car that I no longer own |
|
And the next time anybody offers me a loan |
|
I'll say I don't want it, don't want it |
|
Don't want it, don't want it |
|
Somebody stole my car |
|
It's just been cleaned and I've just had it taxed |
|
It had brand-new stereo speakers in the back |
|
And I call up the cops |
|
With a panic attack |
|
Somebody stole my car |
|
Somebody stole my car |
|
I bet they're riding around and running red lights |
|
Got chicks in the back and ballin' all night |
|
While I sit at home |
|
Getting more uptight |
|
Somebody stole my car |
|
Chorus |
|
Don't want it, don't want it |
|
Don't want it, don't want it |
|
Somebody stole my car |
|
Somebody stole my car |
|
Somebody stole my car |
|
That life in the metropolis |
|
Possessions mean nothing in a world like this |
|
Some punks wanna ride and they see my car |
|
So they take it, shake it |
|
Burn it up and break it |
|
Hey, that's my car |
|
Somebody stole my car |
