Lyrics

I was born in the country, I was raised on the city street
I was born in the country, I was raised on the city street
when you move up to the city, won't believe just what you see...

I've seen the fickle face of fame
seen the people out their brains
seen women in the gutter
and a man thrown from a train

I was born in the country, I was raised on the city street
when you move up to the city, won't believe just what you see...

seen the delegation of a king
pandemic in full swing
I've witnessed every beauty
and I've committed every sin

I was born in the country, I was raised on the city street
when you move up to the city, won't believe just what you see...

seen the people who are beat
alcoholics on the street
I've walked amongst the best of them
and felt their every need

I was born in the country, I was raised on the city street
when you move up to the city, won't believe just what you see...

seen the people who just shout
the hopeless down and outs
the suits in limousines are coming
you better just watch out

I was born in the country, I was raised on the city street
I've got a pretty good bullshit meter, so don't you waste your time on me
