About

Thao Nguyen wrote “City” as a tribute to her activist friends and the Occupy demonstrations in Oakland, California. In this article, Thao elaborates on how the demonstrations made her feel energized, thinking “‘If I lay still through this, shame if I sleep tonight’”.

City Lyrics

No, no, nobody knows where all the money goes
Hearts, thieves and overcoats drift away in smaller boats
And I love it when I leave in the middle of the heat
Eat the insides you would eat just to keep from feeling weak

Go anywhere, I will not follow
I've seen the end and it treats me well
I caught your name off the lips of the bottle
Humming the hum that you thought you just thought of now

That is my city
In the shame, those are my friends
Inside, if I lay still through this
Shame if I rest too
That is my city
In the shame, my friends fixing
Inside, if I lay still through this
Shame if I rest too

That is my city and that is my city
And that is my city in shame

Rest and be strong, wash and be clean
Start a new year whenever you need
Rest and be strong, wash and be clean
Start a new year whenever you need
Rest and be strong, wash and be clean
Start a new year whenever you need
