You pack your bags
  And you move to the city
  There's somethin' missin' here at home
  You fix your hair
  And you're lookin' real pretty
  It's time to get it out on your own
  You're always fightin'
  With your mama and you papa
  Your family life is one big pain!
  When you, you gonna move to the city?
  Into the city where it all began
    You gotta move, You gotta move
  Ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma
  Time you gotta move
    You stole your mama's car
  And your daddy's plastic credit card
  You're sixteen and you can't get a job
  You're not goin' very far
  You're always ridin'
  With the teachers and the police
  This life is much too insane!
  When you, you gonna move to the city?
  Into the city where it all began
    You gotta move, You gotta move
  Ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma
  Time you gotta move
  Right to the city
  Where the real men get it
  Aw, child, ain't it a pity?
  Sometimes it gets too shitty!
  Come on and hit me!
    You're on the streets
  And it ain't so pretty
  You need to get a new what you please
  You do what you gotta do for the money
  At times you end up on your knees!
    I'm always buyin'
  With the local and the junkies
  This city life is one big pain!
  But you, you had to move to the city
  Into the city where it all began
    You gotta move, You gotta move
  Ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma
  Time you gotta move
  Oh right to the city
  With the real nitty gritty
  Aw, child, ain't it a pity?
  Sometimes it gets too shitty!
  Come on and hit me!
