Metropolitan Life Give me half a minute and I'll tell you what I'm thinking I get so excited when you're waving that knife It's driving me crazy but I know I can't blame you For this urban madness - metropolitan life Everybody seems to be in some kind of fever Cruising up and down the same old strip and getting high Left wing politicians loose women and musicians Trying to make a living off a regular guy [chorus] Metro metropolitan life You can survive, but it all depends Metro metropolitan life You're on a street that never ends Metro metropolitan life Metro metropolitan life Metro metropolitan Metro metropolitan Metro metropolitan life [end chorus] Third world people well they got their situation Living in the desert where there ain't no trees Well look around downtown everywhere is concrete People getting down on their knees Well I don't want to talk about it cause it don't make no sense I'm living in the city and I'm crying in the night Television saturation sanitation for the nation Sweeping off the sidewalk after every fight [chorus x 3] Consumer Discount prices, people scrambling Shopper's mall will mesmerize Pretty sales girls bear each other Their eyes are there to hypnotize [chorus a] Double up your daily intake Price wars on, the costs are rising The more you eat, the more you want Just look at the advertising [chorus b] It's ten to nine, you better get in line, consumer It's ten to nine, you better be on time, consumer It's ten to nine, you better get in line, consumer It's ten to nine, you better be on time, consumer [end chrorus] TV ads and high priced fads The merchandise is so seductive The media controls the masses Making sure that you're productive [chorus a] [repeat chorus b to fade out] Nyet Nyet Soviet (Soviet Jewry) [chorus] Nyet nyet Soviet, Soviet jewry I said nyet nyet Soviet, Soviet jewry Nyet nyet Soviet, Soviet jewry I said nyet nyet Soviet, Soviet jewry [end chrous] I say no no no no no no no no no - they shouted "Yes!" And snapped the Soviet jewelry around my wrists I want to go go go go go go go go go - buy they say "Stay!" The KGB is coming to put me away [chorus - plus:] [singing, with russian accent, layered over chorus] Nyet nyet Soviet, Soviet nyet nyet nyet nyet Nyet nyet Soviet, Soviet nyet nyet nyet nyet I'm just a little dec-a-dec-a-dec-a-dent I smoke my tea in the bed They call me a dissident When you're better dead than red I said no no no no no no no no no - they shouted "Yes!" And snapped the Soviet jewelry around my wrists [chorus fades] Moscow Drug Club Underneath the grey streets Where the grey people walk There's a small secret night club Were subversives sit and talk Listening to illegal jazz Ten years behind the western fads (groovy, daddy-o!) Smoking Georgian Gold They refuse to do what they are told (Nyet!) [chorus] Moscow drug club Secret rendezvous Moscow drug club Where the reds play the blues [end chorus] You don't hear balalaikas Cause they're playing saxophones They ignore the party line And disconnect the telephones They do the shimmy and the shake They take little red pills to stay awake And at the Kremlin's gates Being a beatnik Russkie's risky nowadays [chorus] Moscow drug club The five year plan is just a joke Moscow drug club Comrade, come on in - and have a toke!
