Let me tell you about this city in the '80s, that 80's city, that 80's city
It is a small town but it is the world to the people

Say you don't know me or recognize my face
It's another Sunday, in an old street
Don't tell us you need us because we're just simple fools
Looking for America, coming through your schools
