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
