it's killing, killing, killing us
it's killing, killing, killing us
the city is a drag
oh, the city is a drag

oh, it's killing, killing, killing us
it's killing, killing, killing us
the city is a drag
the city is a drag

oh now
oh now
oh now
ooh

my heart's broke down and in the dirt
i feel i'm dying slow and sure
the city is a drag
the city is a drag

so hide your passions in between
the daily grind and broken dreams
the city is a drag
the city is a drag

oh now
some will tell you toughen up
but this old life is all you got
how much insanity can anyone take?
we're burning out
we're burning down
we're burning out, oh

the city is a drag, ooh
the city is a drag, ooh

it's big and shiny and improved
with no room left for me to move
the city is a drag
the city is a drag

oh, prostrate to this unending grind
sure you'll make a lot of money
but you'll never make time
the city is a drag
oh, the city is a drag

oh now
some will tell you toughen up
but this old life is all you got
how much insanity can anyone take?
we're burning out
we're burning out
we're burning down, oh

the city is a drag, ooh
the city is a drag, ooh

oh now
oh now
oh now

oh now
some will tell you toughen up
but this old life is all you got
how much insanity can anyone take?
we're burning out
we're burning down
we're burning out, oh

we're burning down
we're burning out
we're burning out, oh

the city is a drag, ooh
the city is a drag, ooh

oh now
oh now
oh oh oh oh oh oh
the city is a fucking drag
