[Intro]

Uptown, uptown, uptown

Uptown, uptown, uptown


[Verse 1]

Saved up for weeks just to buy yourself that dress

You're such a star, you look like nobody else

Work in an office cage, a factory line

Working for peanuts, one thing on your mind

Uptown, uptown, uptown

Uptown, uptown, uptown


[Verse 2]

You go out dancing, taking drugs with your friends

You feel so good, you never want it to end

And when the comedown hits and Monday arrives

Back in the office cage, a factory line

Dream of uptown, uptown, uptown

Saturday night

Uptown, uptown, uptown

Lost in the night


[Chorus]

And it's so hard, and it's so hard

And it's so hard to get by in this town

It's so hard, and it's so hard

And it's so hard to survive in this town

Uptown, uptown, uptown

Uptown, uptown, uptown


[Verse 3]

Sometimes you wonder what you do with your life

Just work, consume, just work, consume 'til you die

Sometimes it feels the only time you're alive

Is when you go out on a Saturday night


[Chorus]

And it's so hard, and it's so hard

And it's so hard to get by in this town

It's so hard, and it's so hard

And it's so hard to survive in this town

Uptown, uptown, uptown

Uptown, uptown, uptown

And it's so hard, and it's so hard

And it's so hard to get by in this town

It's so hard, and it's so hard

And it's so hard to survive in this town

Uptown, uptown, uptown

Uptown, uptown, uptown


[Outro]

Uptown, uptown, uptown

Uptown, uptown, uptown
