That's life,  in the big city

You beg for mercy, but you get no pity

Low-life zero mentality

Vandalized victims of depravity

Fast food, take out, mentality

Where the dogs eat the dogs 

And the innocent bleed

The city can't cope and the cops don't care 

There's fear in the streets

It's a jungle out there

I don't want it, don't want it, don't want it, don't want it
D                  A
Somebody stole my car

Somebody stole my automobile

They ripped off the radio and sold the wheels
G                                    D
And if it's happened to you then you know how I feel
D                  A      E      A      E
Somebody stole my car
D                  A
Somebody stole my car

I left it parked outside of my home

It had a new A/C and a celluar phone
G                                          D
And I'm as sick as a dog cause I'm still paying off the loan
D                  A      E      A      E
Somebody stole my car

That's life in the metropolis

Living on credit and overdrawn interest

Craving comercialized commodities

Everything advertised stirring up greed

Everyday I wonder why

Everyday I can't get away

The city's in debt, past its ears

Yet we still borrow more and pay it back next year

Now I'm paying for a car that I no longer own

And the next time anybody offers me a loan I'll say
E
I don't want it, don't want it, don't want it, don't want it


D                  A
Somebody stole my car

It's just been cleaned and I've just had it taxed

It had a brand new stereo and speakers in the back
G                              D
And I called up the cops with a panic attack
D                  A
Somebody stole my car
D                  A
Somebody stole my car

I bet they're riding around and running red lights

Got chicks in the back and ballin all night
G                        D
While I sit at home getting more uptight
D                  A      E      A      E      A      E
Somebody stole my car
D                  A
Somebody stole my car

Somebody stole my automobile

Ripped off the radio and sold the wheels
G                                    D
And if it's happened to you then you know how I feel

Somebody stole my car

Don't want it, don't want it, don't want it, don't want it

Somebody stole my car

That's life in the metropolis
Possessions mean nothing in a world like this
Some punks wanna ride and they see my car
So they take it shake it burn it up and break it
Hey, that's my car!
Somebody stole my car!

Beep Beep Beep Beep yeah!
