about

A song written in collaboration with Nir Levanon, Masa Aeneya, Tiffanie Csortos, and myself about life in a big city, particularly New York. How so many hopeful people come here to make it big and get chewed up by it instead.

lyrics

VERSE:
Opportunity is everywhere
Don't have to be a millionaire
If you can make it here
You can make it anywhere

The simple life is not for me
My name in lights is what I seek
Everybody wants to be a star
Not happy with where they are

CHORUS:
I'm a, jaded, skeptical, city boy
I'm a, jaded, cynical, city boy
I'm a, hardened, criminal, city boy

VERSE:
Nobody told me life could be
So crowded and, so lonely
Hoards of people everywhere
Yet nobody seems to care

The city life is killing me
Can barely feed my family
Ride the train to Rockaway Beach
'Cus the Hamptons are out of reach

CHORUS:
I'm a, jaded, skeptical, city boy
I'm a, jaded, cynical, city boy
I'm a, hardened, criminal, city boy

SOLO

CHORUS:
I'm a, jaded, skeptical, city boy
I'm a, jaded, cynical, city boy
I'm a, hardened, criminal, city boy
