Ray Davies - Somebody Stole My Car lyrics

That's life in the big city You beg for mercy but you got no pity Low-life zero mentality Vandalized victims of depravity Fast food, take-out mentality Where the dogs eat the dogs And the innocent bleed The city can't cope and the cops don't care There's fear in the streets It's a jungle out there I don't want it, don't want it Don't want it, don't want it Chorus: Somebody stole my car Somebody stole my automobile They ripped off the radio and sold the wheels And if it's happened to you Then you know how I feel Somebody stole my car Somebody stole my car I left it parked outside of my home It had a new A/C and a cellular phone And I'm as sick as a dog 'Cos I'm still paying off the loan Somebody stole my car That's life in the metropolis Living on credit and overdrawn interest Craving commercialized commodities Everything advertised, stirring up greed Everyday I wonder why Everyday I can't get away The city's in debt, up past its ears Yet we still borrow more And pay it back next year Now I'm paying for a car that I no longer own And the next time anybody offers me a loan I'll say I don't want it, don't want it Don't want it, don't want it Somebody stole my car It's just been cleaned and I've just had it taxed It had brand-new stereo speakers in the back And I call up the cops With a panic attack Somebody stole my car Somebody stole my car I bet they're riding around and running red lights Got chicks in the back and ballin' all night While I sit at home Getting more uptight Somebody stole my car Chorus Don't want it, don't want it Don't want it, don't want it Somebody stole my car Somebody stole my car Somebody stole my car That life in the metropolis Possessions mean nothing in a world like this Some punks wanna ride and they see my car So they take it, shake it Burn it up and break it Hey, that's my car Somebody stole my car
