In the Shadow of a City

In my house in the shadow of a city
I came from money and words I thought were pretty
And what I thought was an honest education
I can memorize, but what the hell is application?

High on life
As long as I don't look down
Gonna have to clip my strings
to keep me on the ground

I was told that by the time I turned thirty
I should compromise so I can feel less guilty
And what I thought was an honest institution
It's full of fear and mental destitution

I'm so high
As long as I don't look down
I'll repeat the songs I sing
'cause it's not just for the sound

In my house in the shadow of a city
Where the sun don't shine, thank God
Because it's filthy
