In The City - The Jam

In the city there's a thousand

Things I want to say to you

But whenever I approach you

You make me look a fool

I wanna say I wanna tell you

About the young ideas

But you turn them into fears

In the city there's a thousand

Faces all shining bright

And those golden faces are under 25

They wanna say they gonna tell ya

About the young idea

You better listen now

You've said your bit-a

And I know what you're thinking

You're sick of that kind of crap

But you'd better listen man

Because the kids know where it's at

In the city there's a thousand

Men in uniforms

And I've heard they

Now have the right to kill a man

We wanna say we gonna tell ya

About the young idea

And if it don't work

At least we still tried

In the city in the city

In the city In the city

There's a thousand

Things I want to say to you
