Lyrics

Sick and tired of the same old things,
Life in the Modern World and all it brings,
I don't know what I'm gonna do ...

Work from 9 to 5 to make some dough,
Where does it get you I don't really know,
I don't know what I'm gonna do ...

Because I'm not putting up with this bull no not no more,
Just gonna fade away ...
Life in the city is a real drag, oh yeah,
Just gonna fade away ...

So what's a poor boy like me to do?
All cooped up in this human zoo ...
I don't know what I'm gonna do ...

I look down to the street below,
It's just a step away not far to go,
Now I know what I'm gonna do ...

Because I'm not putting up with this bull no not no more,
Just gonna fade away ...
Life in the city is a real drag, oh yeah,
Just gonna fade away ...

Or should I settle down and fit right in?
If I go along then will I win?
I don't know what I'm gonna do ...

Because I'm not putting up with this bull no not no more,
Just gonna fade away ...
Life in the city is a real drag, oh yeah,
Just wanna fade away ...
