Big City

Lyrics by Tsunamidaily

mama said before we left:

please remember the list
let’s not forget anything
cuz i’ll be pissed
if we leave out one thing.

if need be we’ll try
to take out a loan
there’s so much to buy
that we can’t get at home.

i said as we went there:

every few miles past
i see there’s another town
but we pass by so fast
you can’t tell what’s around/going down.

it just seems to me
we should stop and roam
cuz there’s so much to see
that we just can’t at home.

gotta get to the big city
gotta get to the market place
gotta get me the latest gadget
gotta get me the best phrase
gotta get that thing to make me pretty
gotta get to the big city.

i finally said as we returned:

why when we go to town
do we just to buy stuff?
in search of the latest noun
when is it enough?

just answer this for me
which’ll we regret before we die
the places we didn’t see
or the things we didn’t buy?

gotta get to the big city
gotta get to the market place
gotta get me the latest gadget
gotta get me the best phrase
gotta get that thing to make me pretty
gotta get to the big city.

BRIDGE:

we’re going to the big city
we’re just passing by
plenty of places may seem pretty
but it’s all one sky.

chorus

gotta get to the big city
gotta get to the market place
gotta get me the latest gadget
gotta get me the best phrase
gotta get that thing to make me pretty
gotta get to the big city.
