[Intro]

This is from Live Like a Suicide

This is called "Move to the City"


[Verse 1]

You pack your bags and you move to the city

There's somethin' missin' here at home

You fix your hair and you look real pretty

It's time to get it out on your own

You're always fightin' with your mama and your papa

Your family life is one big pain

When are you, you gonna move to the city

Into the city where it all began?


[Chorus]

You gonna move, you gonna move

Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma

Child, you gotta move

Ooh


[Verse 2]

You stole your mama's car and your daddy's plastic credit card

You're sixteen and you can't get a job, you're not goin' very far

You're always fightin' with the teachers and the police

Your social life is too insane

When are you, you are gonna move to the city

Uh, to the city where it all began?


[Chorus]

You gonna move, you gonna move

Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma

Child, you gotta move

Ooh

Up to the city with the real nitty gritty

Oh, child, ain't it a pity?

Sometimes it get too shitty

Come on and hit me


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 3]

You're on the streets and it ain't so pretty

At least you get to do what you please

You do what you got to do for the money

At times, you end up on your knees

You're always fightin' with the local and the junkies

This city life is one big pain

But you, you had to move to the city

Uh, to the city where it all began


[Chorus]

You gonna move, you gonna move

Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma

Child, you gotta move

Ooh

Up to the city with the real nitty gritty

Oh, child, ain't it a pity?

Sometimes it gets too shitty

Come on and hit me
