Okay living in the city
Whores outside a-posing
Traffic noise a lullaby
Skyscapers better than the blue skies
We can do what we want
We can say what we please
We can be who we want
Being poor's okay by me
Proud I don't have no tv
Living at the Canterbury
[My friends think I'm a fool]
Living at the Canterbury
I guess it's pretty cool
Living at the Canterbury
Fighting off the roaches
Like being in a dormitory
Till rental due approaches
[Don't know where we'll get the cash]
Spent it all on booze
I'm no fool with credit cards
It's better not to think
Sometimes little I like to think!
