Uptown, uptown, uptown, uptown, uptown, uptown

Saved up for weeks just to buy yourself that dress

You're such a star you look like nobody else

Work in an office, cage, a factory line

Working for peanuts, one thing on your mind

Uptown, uptown, uptown, uptown, uptown, uptown

You go out dancing taking drugs with your friends

You feel so good you never want it to end

And when the comedown hits and monday arrives

Back in the office, cage, a factory line

Dream of uptown, uptown, uptown saturday night

Uptown, uptown, uptown, lost in the night

And it's so hard, and it's so hard

And it's so hard to get by in this town

And it's so hard, and it's so hard

And it's so hard to survive in this town

Uptown, uptown, uptown, uptown, uptown, uptown

Sometimes you wonder what you're doing with your life

Just work, consume, just work, consume 'til you die

Sometimes it feels the only time, you're alive

Is when you go out on a saturday night

And it's so hard, and it's so hard

And it's so hard to get by in this town

And it's so hard, and it's so hard

And it's so hard to survive in this town

Uptown, uptown, uptown, uptown, uptown, uptown

And it's so hard, and it's so hard

And it's so hard to get by in this town

And it's so hard, and it's so hard

And it's so hard to survive in this town

Uptown, uptown, uptown, uptown, uptown, uptown

Uptown, uptown, uptown, uptown, uptown, uptown
