Lyrics:

Too late to go back home
Stranded in the streets, sweating in the heat
Don't care to be a star
Pounding on the door, sleeping on the floor
Big city, ain't too pretty
Big city, nice and loud
Big city, don't want no pity
Big city's one big crowd

No chance to make the big time
I've been tryin' hard, got to take it far
No love along the way
I've been movin' fast, got to make it last
Big city, ain't too pretty
Big city, nice and loud
Big city, don't want no pity
Big city, one big crowd

They say no, no, no, everywhere I go
But I'm gonna win
Against the odds, open style
Here in the city of sin, in the city of sin

I got to get ahead
Too many screams, too many dreams
I got to be somebody
Got to bleed for the things I need
Big city, ain't too pretty
Oh, big city, nice and loud
Big city, don't want no pity
Oh, big city, it's one big crowd
Big city, ain't too pretty
Oh, big city, nice and loud
Big city, don't want no pity
Oh, big city, it's one big crowd
