Lyrics

Get out of the City
Jump into your shoes and run
Get out of the City
Pick up your stuff and book

Get out of the City
Do not turn around and look
Get out of the City
Metropolis began to shook

Get out of the City
Love and unity is gone
For the real deal
Of the sitation
The bars that block

Everybody's lost their noodle
Look at all of them
Picking up the falling marbles
Trying to hide their sins
Sinnin' and stricken by the one
Who holds the puppet strings
An Apocalyptic Vision, a skeem
Your steel toe boots and shoes
To ricochet the bullets off
Of the Blue Steel gun
Of sym bol liz um.
Of United Nation's
Armageddon Babylon.
These shoes I'm talkin' 'bout
Will satisfy your soul
You can dance you can boogie
You don't have to pay no toll
Of the no soul booth
The soul's already there
That's the stone bone truth
So dance if you dare
And escape the nightmare
Of the City

I can see it, ooh
I can hear it, ooh
I can feel it, ooh
It's so cleary now
I can sense it, ooh
It the Beat Treat, ooh
It's the release, ooh
It's so easy man like wow
When you feel the vibration
In your tune out station
So keep tunin'
Everybody wins
Nobody's complainin'
In the City

Get out of the City
Jump into your shoes and run
Get out of the City
Pick up your stuff and book

Get out of the City
Do not turn around and look
Get out of the City
Metropolis began to shook

Get out of the City
Put on your shoes and dance
For the one whose marbles
Vamp in turmoil
Hardly got a chance

They're so busy, shoot+Rob
Gold diggin', Hob+Snob
So enthralled in eatin' doo doo
Caught up in the wrong voodoo
If you don't get what we've got
This beat is a Blessing and it's hot
So escape the gritty shitty city
The shackle blood clot
So if you stand there
You will get cought
In the Metropolis
Cement snot.

I must express to you
My comparison of snot to a city
That just keeps on fallin'
And it's run by the rotten
Ah, the pigs. Ah, the stench.
It's a raid and a bithc
So i got to scratch my itch
And twitch.

So tune in my friends
And just forget about your sins
Take a real deep breath and just
Look up toward the sky
Spinnin' around in circles
With the Blue Sky in Eyes and dance
Your way out of the city
