WORKING IN THE CITY (Parental Advisory-Explicit Lyrics)

Taking a BART train to another deadend job
Gets me nowhere, but it pays the rent
Maybe there’ll be a strike and I won’t have to go to work
I can just sit here and be awesome

When I get out of the train another person bumps me
A girl in her new high heels, clack, clack, clack up the stairs
Showing her new outfit, she’s making minimum wage
Her designer dress – minimum wage

Working in the city, working in the city

Some people take their cars,
some people they taketrains
Hear the train on the track, let’s go Jack
Another day, another dollar, I just feel like giving a great big holler
Woe is me

Taking a BART train to another dead-end job, gets me nowhere
But it pays the rent, pays the rent, but it pays the rent

Maybe there’ll be a strike and I won’t have to go to work and
I can just sit here, I hate my f….cking job
A ha no!
Ha! I wanna leave, I hate my f…..cking job
