Murray Head - City Scurry lyrics

Rise and shine early with a toothpaste smile Walk a little faster, join the rank and file Do yourself a favor, buy a morning paper Better buy a briefcase, do it in style Make yourself busy as you next door neighbor Race him to the bustop have your coffee later Spirit of the nation, got to make the station 'Cos they made an alteration, there's been an altercation If you beat the rush you can find yourself a seat Time to look at ladies who knows who you'll meet Light up a cigarette, rest your weary feet You know that you can hurry, do the city scurry No cause for you to flurry, do the city scurry to work Such a ceremony is it necessary can there be no other way? Find a sanctuary one that's salutary - not imaginary - real in your head - in your head See those peoples mouths turned down at the corners Maybe they were born like that a system to warn us To show us where their heads are at Doesn't have to be like that Be a business diplomat think of something nice to say Competition eggs them on to cheat one another Turn them on to work with love that each man's their brother Jealousy has slowed them down Envy only makes them frown Hope they gain awareness and rediscover A way to really love their work To get it on and not to shirk To do the very best they can To share their hopes with every man To give before they think of taking To know a new world's in the making Maybe it'll happen just like that one day Perhaps its even started and we're on the way -- Who knows
