Lost in the city
So cold end so dirty
It's a sight that's not pretty
For your pretty eyes
Locked in this prison
Slaves to the system
On the road to oblivion
No future

I don't care what they say no
Can't stay, no way
I said no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no

Don't give a damn what your mama say
Don't give a damn what your papa say
Don't give a damn
I only give a damn about you
Don't give a damn what the government say
Don't give a damn what the sermon say, what the sermon say
Don't give a damn
I only give a damn about you

Then terror we've been living
Is of our own invention
A wave of oppression
Is gonna keep you down
There's a place beyond the city
They say I'm only dreaming
But I know it's reality baby
I've seen it in your pretty eyes
I don't care what they say no no
We can't stay, no way, no way
I said no, no, no, no
No

I don't give a damn what the authority say
I don't give a damn what the history book say
I don't give a damn
I only give a damn about you girl
I don't give a damn what your cards say
I don't give a damn what your bumper say
I don't give a damn
I only give a damn about you

I don't give a damn what your mama say
I don't give a damn what your papa say
I don't give a damn what the sermon say
I don't give a damn what the government say

I don't give a damn
I only give a damn about you
