...INNER CITY PRESSURE... by Flight of the Conchords
-------------------------...........................
from Episode 2 (2007)
Verse 1:
(Bret):
[Cm] Inner city life, Inner city pressure,
The concrete world is starting to get ya.
The [F]city is alive, the city is expanding,
Living in the city can be demanding.
You've [Cm]pawned everything,
Everything you own,
Your toothbrush jar and a camera phone.
You [F]don't know where you're going
You cross the street,
You don't know why you did;
You walk back across the street.
[Cm] Standing in the sitting room, totally skint,
And your favorite jersey is covered in lint.
You [F]want to sit down but you sold your chair,
So you just, stand there.
[Cm] You just [F]stand there,
(You just stand there).
Chorus 1:
[Gm] Inner,
Inner [F]city,
Inner city [Cm]pressure.
(Inner city pressure).
Verse 2:
(Jemaine):
Counting [Cm]coins on the counter of the 7-11,
From a quarter past six 'til a quarter to seven.
The [F]manager Bevan starts to abuse me;
Hey man, I just want some Muesli.
[Cm] Neon signs hidden messages,
Questions, answers, fetishes.
You [F]know you're not in high finance,
Considering getting second hand underpants.
[Cm] Check your mind; how'd it get so bad?
What happened to those other underpants you had?
[F] Look in your pockets; haven't found a cent yet,
Landlords on your balls; "Have you paid your rent yet?"
Chorus 2:
[Gm] Inner,
Inner [F]city,
Inner city [Cm]pressure.
(Inner city pressure).
[Gm] Inner,
Inner [F]city,
Inner city [Cm]pressure.
(Inner city pressure).
Break:
Am G#, D
Verse 3:
(Jemaine):
So you [Cm]think maybe you'll be a prostitute,
Just to pay for your lessons;
You're learning the flute.
The [F]ladies won't pay you very much for this,
Looks like you'll never be a concert flautist.
You [Cm]don't measure up to the expectation,
When you?re unemployed there?s no vacation.
[F] No one cares, no one sympathizes,
You just stay home and play synthesizers.
Chorus 3:
Gm F, Cm
(Inner city pressure).
Gm F, Cm
(Inner city pressure).
Chorus 4:
[Gm] Inner,
Inner [F]city,
Inner city [Cm]pressure.
(Inner city pressure).
[Gm] Inner,
Inner [F]city,
Inner city [Cm]pressure.
(Inner city pressure).
Outro:
Gm F, Cm
(Fade)
