...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.
F
The city is alive, the city is expanding,
Living in the city can be demanding.
Cm
You've pawned everything,
Everything you own,
Your toothbrush jar and a camera phone.
F
You 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.
F
You want to sit down but you sold your chair,
So you just, stand there.
Cm F
You just stand there,
(You just stand there).

Gm

Verse 2:
(Jemaine):
Cm
Counting coins on the counter of the 7-11,
From a quarter past six 'til a quarter to seven.
F
The manager Bevan starts to abuse me;
Hey man, I just want some Muesli.
Cm
Neon signs hidden messages,
Questions, answers, fetishes.
F
You 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?"

Verse 3:
(Jemaine):
Cm
So you think maybe you'll be a prostitute,
Just to pay for your lessons;
You're learning the flute.
F
The ladies won't pay you very much for this,
Looks like you'll never be a concert flautist.
Cm
You 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.
