Raised in the backwoods born down on the farm.
Kept away from bad men and sheltered from harm

But a lust for the bright lights took you away.
Though memories may fade, you'll remember this day

You're a victim of the city

So you want to be famous, there are thousands like you.
Even with all the right breaks, just a handful get through

The city's a wild beast, it will never be tamed.
When you think that you're winning, tell me what have you gained?

You're a victim of the city

Broken and homeless, you've lost all your friends.
You've got to face it, 'cause here it all ends.

Stand on your own ground, and see it through,
there's no turning back now, it's all up to you.

You're a victim of the city
