Pity in the City

It's a pity living in the world today
If you crack a smile they take your smile away
If you've got no money then you have to pay
It's a pity in the city every day

What is it like to be someone else?
What is it like to be nothing at all?

It's a shame it's all a game and nothing's real
A screen will tell you what it means and how to feel
If you sell your soul you've made the better deal
It's a shame the rat can't stop the spinning wheel

What is it like to be someone else?
What is it like to be nothing at all?
