Out in the cold Like ghosts on the road The shapes of our culture with no days to come Bound to bricks Students from Rome, Naples The south and the north Adoring the 'clubs' and the d**, and the lifestyle And floors upon shops and upon roads Green fishbowl-parks We tried to work our way out with punk But every time we try then we fall Yeah every time we try we fall Into the city there are trends that grow Into the city low profiles won't work Into the city competition earns gold Into the city, into the city I love the city I'll burn down the city Who loves the city? We'll burn down the city Big posters and big screens The beauties in ads High contrast religions for today's wannabes, yeah The world isn't flat You may like it or not Landscapes are not just drawn, they may hurt you still Love upon hate and upon love You feel it all We tried to work our way out with punk But every time we try then we fall Yeah every time we try we fall Into the city now you care, now you don't Into the city you may hide when you want You should control the city, you should force it You should dig deep to the meaning, down to the meaning I love the city I'll burn down the city Who loves the city We'll burn down ..the city
