King of the city


We were brought up in a boring town
Watching our feet sink into the ground
Never went up on a roof at night ? oh no
On top of the city
To look at the lights

Remember the TV was on all day
With so much silence to chase away
Now we sit up on the roof at night ? you know
And listen to sirens
And neighbours who fight

We're the A Team, the White Knights
And we want it all
We got the big dream
And the bright lights
But we don't see the stars anymore

We were brought up with the smell of grass
Knowing that nobody had no class
Sitting on top of a tower of steel ? now I know
That nobody's perfect
And everything's real
We're the A Team, the White Knights
And we want it all
We got the big dream
And the bright lights
But we don't see the stars anymore

Come with me up on the roof tonight ? you know
We'll be kings of the city
And look at the lights

We're the A Team, the White Knights
And we want it all
We got the big dream
And the bright lights
But we don't see the stars anymore

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
