Who Cares for the City
by John Ylvisaker

Album: Cool Livin'

I came to the city
Big time in the city
Who cares for the city?
The city that caught me
The city that taught me
To hide from the hope of the world

Chorus
Who cares for the city?
It seems such a pity
That the city ain't nothin'
But a place to be shut in
And hide from the eyes of the world

I live in the city
No friend in the city
Who cares for the city?
The city ain't nothin'
But a place to be shut in
And hide from the Light of the World

Chorus

I'll die in the city
No hope in the city
Who cares for the city?
The city will bury
The life that I carry
As I hide from the life of the world

Chorus

(Instrumental break)

Will I rise from the city?
Born free in the city?
Who cares for the city?
I now sing this song for
The freedom I long for
To live for the life of the world

Chorus
