Livin' in the city, nobody said it would be easy
Seven million lonely souls
It's a sweet shame it's a pity when you realize those city lights ain't pretty
The streets ain't paved with gold
'Cause you want to be somebody, I want to be somebody
Let's knock the door they gotta let us in, yeah
I got my fingers on the handle, got another angle
Get your aces up your sleeve, lets go gamblin'
Every winner is a villain
Every loser is a hero
Let's put on our two-step shoes and lose the blues
And dance like it's year zero
When the front-runners lose their riders and the ten-to-one outsiders
Hold the, the future in their hands
Let's fool the poker-faced pretenders and the casino-cool contenders
Grab the chips and put the booty in the bag
When every winner is a villain
Every loser is a hero
Put on our two-step shoes and lose the blues
And dance like it's year zero
You want to be somebody
I want to be somebody
Let's knock the door they gotta let us in
They gotta let us in
Every winner is a villain
Every loser is a hero
Let's put on our two-step shoes and lose the blues
And dance like it's year zero
Every winner is a villain
Every loser is a hero
Let's put on our two-step shoes and lose the blues
And dance like it's year zero
