The City - Mac McAnally

[Tactical Peek]

From the farm as a child
I was warned of the wiles of the city
Of that demon disguised
As the dirt in the sky of the city

I was told the proximity warps their minds
'Til they're shooting one another just to pass the time
And we live it appears
Both in spite and in fear of the city

I was constantly told
How our lives were controlled by the city
How they keep us in debt
With the trends that they set it's a pity

How them beautiful people in the magazines
Got the normal ones living beyond their means
And the things that they said
Made me go in my head to the city

Well I learned when I came
That there's some things the same in the city
You're still under the thumb
Of the rich and the young and the pretty

And they weren't much different than we might act
If there was that many of us that closely packed
It's an ancient idea
But it struck me so clear in the city

1. Great observations ... good stuff, thanks for sharing ...

Kinda surprised a more famous person didn't make a big hit out of it frankly ...
