City Boy — текст песни (The Animals)

Well, I came back to the city
And it wasn`t very pretty,
It was dying
There were some who had more than they could eat
And other with no shoes up on their feet,
They were crying
I saw a brother sell his brother
While the cops held another,
They were laughing
I saw two dogs in the street,
A black one and a white one,
They were fighting
If it isn`t very pretty
Why do they stay in the city
And watch it dying?
Why don`t I go back to the country
And sit beneath a plum tree with my sweet little girl,
And listen to her singin`?
It`s because I`m caught in a trap
Lord, and you know where that`s at
It sure ain`t the country
Oh, Lord knows, it ain`t the country
It`s because its the way I see it every night and day
I hope to change it
I`m just at city boy,
City boy, thats me
Hey! City boy, city boy
Yeah, yeah, city boy,
Oh Lord, city boy

(Burdon/Sterling)
