Tear it loose, tear it loose Gonna tear it, gonna tear it loose Blast my way into the night Gonna shout it from the roof I'm gonna live my dream, shout and scream! There ain't no way I'm gonna wait for Saturday Night I worked all day, I slaved away, I

In the city I know there must be somethin' better In the city, oh, oh. Somewhere out there on that horizon Out beyond the neon lights But there's nowhere else in sight It's survival in the city When you live from day to day City streets don't have much

Whoa, whoa, whoa, who knows Forty days, forty nights What the thunder and lightning will bring Maybe the storm will cover my dreams Maybe the sun will shine no more Which way the wind is blowing And when we look back on these things We won't cry no more
