Testo The City

Give me my power (x4)
I built this city

I got plenty concrete, plenty steel
Please give me my trees, give em back
Give me tours, give me traffic
Give me noise, just give it back
Could you bring back all my police, give me order
Turn back on my lights give me fuel and water
I think I'm beggin', cause now that everythings gone
I'm needin' mine, I'm needin' mine

With the streets all dark
It looks like my buildings are gone
I made you the mayor of my town honey
And I'm why you are the city representative
I gave you the key to my city
Gave you power over, power over me

Give it to me
Give it back to me
The city belongs to me
The city is ours no more

Tell the government please give me fun
Being can't you see that I'm doing bad
Give me flood gates, give me levees
Too much water, can you push it back?
How you just gonna leave me out of order?
I ain't got no lights or no fuel to start up
I know I'm beggin cause now that everythings dried up
I'm needin' mine, I'm needin' mine

And with the streets all dark
The buildings look lost
I made you the mayor of my town honey
I'm why you are the city representative
I gave you the key to my city
Oh power over, power over me

Now give it to me
Give it back to me
The city belongs to me
The city is ours no more

We used to be sky high
We used to be major
We used to be sky high
We used to be major baby, major
Give it to me, give it back to me

The city is mine baby
This whole city is mine
This city is mine honey
Give it to me, give it back to me
This city is mine oh baby
This city is mine, this city is mine
Now give it to me, give it back to me
This city belongs to me
This city is ours no more
