    Down the Bourses early
    With the Hustlers big and burly
    There's a million of 'em selling
    And the buyers cannot be found

    They're just hanging around
    They're just hanging around

    Christ, he told his mother
    Christ, he told her not to bother
    'Cause he's alright in the city
    'Cause he's high above the ground
    He's just hanging around (hanging around)
    He's just hanging around (hanging around)
    He's just hanging around (hanging around)
    He's just hanging around (hanging around

    The City

    I'm going to buy this place and burn it down
    I'm going to put it six feet underground
    I'm going to buy this place and watch it fall
    Stand here beside me baby in the crumbling walls
    Oh I'm going to buy this place and start a fire
    Stand here until I fill all your heart's desires
    Because I'm going to buy this place and see it burn
    Do back the things it did to you in return

    Oh I'm going to buy a gun and start a war
    If you can tell me something worth fighting for
    Oh and I'm going to buy this place, that's what I said
    Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head to the head

    All the movements you're starting to make
    See me crumble and fall on my face
    And I know the mistakes that I made
    See it all disappear without a trace
    And they call as they beckon you on
    They said start as you mean to go on
    Start as you mean to go on

    I'm going to buy this place and see it go
    Stand here beside my baby watch the orange glow
    Some'll laugh and some just sit and cry
    But you just sit down there and you wonder why
    So I'm going to buy a gun and start a war
    If you can tell me something worth fighting for
    And I'm going to buy this place, that's what I said
    Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head
