Lyrics:

[Mapeye]Well, there are sixteen people in Danny's apartmentSixteen people are living in thereRemember the days of r
ent controlGrandpa remembers rock and rollThese days won't last foreverThese days won't last for longYou know, somebody so
mewhere owes us a favorThat's how things really get doneIn this World of Opportunities, it's a Land of PossibilitiesWe wann
a live in a dirty old townBuilding it up, tearing us downWith our head in the clouds and our feet on the groundWe wanna live
- dirty old townDirty old townNow when the ladies come from KansasThey wear their traditional colorsToday the fabrics are
ragged and tornThe clothes on their backs is all that they ownThey say, 'Don't draw attention to yourselfThey'll tear you a
part for a couple of bucksKeep you head down and keep you nose clean'Cause people who're scared do dangerous things'These d
ays can't last foreverThese days can't last for longYou know someday things'll get betterSomehow things'll get doneIn this
World of Possibilities, it's the Land of OpportunitiesWe wanna live in a dirty old townBuilding it up, tearing us downWith
our head in the clouds and our feet on the groundWe wanna live - dirty old townDirty old townThese days shoes are worn only
on special occasionsBattles are fought for fam'ly and nationsMaybe you'll pray, but God isn't homeAnd there's no guarantee
that justice be doneWe wanna live in a dirty old townBuilding it up, tearing us downWith our head in the clouds and our fee
t on the groundWe wanna live - dirty old townDirty old town
