[Chorus]
(Living in the city) You know you have to survive
(Living in the city) You've got to keep the dream alive
(Living in the city) Where everything is free
(Living in the city) Can't you see?
(Living in the city) You know you have to survive
(Living in the city) You've got to keep the dream alive
(Living in the city) Where everything is free
(Living in the city) Can't you see?

[Verse 1]
So many different things to see; there's no time
So many different things to do, but there's no time
So many people all around, so many feelings to be found
Living in a city where no one lets you down

[Chorus]
(Living in the city) You know you have to survive
(Living in the city) You've got to keep the dream alive
(Living in the city) Where everything is free
(Living in the city) Can't you see?
(Living in the city) (In the city!) You know you have to survive
(Living in the city) You've got to keep the dream alive
(Living in the city) Where everything is free
(Living in the city) Can't you see?
[Verse 2]
So many things that we've been through, can you feel it?
So many things for us to do, but can you feel it?
So many faces all around, so many places to be found
Living in a city where nothing gets you down (Oh!)

[Chorus]
(Living in the city) You know you have to survive
(Living in the city) You've got to keep the dream alive
(Living in the city) Where everything is free
(Living in the city) Can't you see?
(Living in the city) You know you have to survive
(Living in the city) You've got to keep the dream alive
(Living in the city) Where everything is free
(Living in the city) Can't you see?

[Bridge]
In the sky at night, the stars are shining bright
You can see the city lights 'cause I'm here to make it right
(In the city!)
(Oh, yeah, oh!)

[Chorus]
(Living in the city) You know you have to survive
(Living in the city) You've got to keep the dream alive (Yeah!)
(Living in the city) Where everything is free
(Living in the city) Can't you see?
(Living in the city) You know you have to survive
(In the city, in the city)
(Living in the city) You've got to keep the dream alive
(Living in the city) Where everything is free
(Living in the city) Can't you see? (Oh!)
(Living in the city) You know you have to survive
(The city!)
(Living in the city) You've got to keep the dream alive
(Living in the city) Where everything is free
(Living in the city) Can't you see?
[Post-Chorus]
In the city, in the city
(Living in the city) In the city, in the city!
(Living in the city) Oh!
In the city
(Living in the city)
(Living in the city)

[Outro]
You know you have to survive
(Living in the city) Oh-oh
(Living in the city)
Oh-oh
(Living in the city)
In the city, in the city
In the city! (Living in the city) In the city!
(Living in the city)
(Living in the city)
