Radio Control - Universe City lyrics

In the Universe City The kids are tough You count their numbers on a finger You either fight or you bluff In the Universe City The kids are right But it takes five bands to lie down For one to step in the light 'Cause in the city's heart There lies a god And I don't know his name or Why the bill we're on seems wrong In the Universe City The kids are real They skip the bands on the back page. For the ones they can steal In the Universe City The kids been sold On a dream like the rest of us What matters most is the mold 'Cause in the city's gut There lies a slob And he's still smiling When they're serving him your heart I'll take a walk Down by the bay Where Arthur Fiedler lives Thought we were smart Pushing bottles Underneath the docks But in the Universe City I found my faith Dreaming short term is bound to get you let down You only win if you play 'Cause in the city's heart There lies a stone And it ain't moving Until you tell it when to roam.
