Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The city is at war
Playtime for the young and rich
Ignore me if you see me 'cause I just don't give a shit
The city is at war
Bless the young and rich
With designer drugs and designer friends
[Verse 2]
The city is at war
Playtime for the young and rich
Ignore me if you see me 'cause I just don't give a shit
The city is at war
Bless the young and rich
With designer drugs and designer friends
[Verse 3]
Here's how it goes
It's about who you know
If you got money you get in for free
Get on your knees if you wanna reach the top
The party never stops (Never stops)
Don't stop now (Don't stop now)
[Verse 4]
Come on
Stick around and see how it ends
Get the money and run
Meet me at the parking lot
Bang bang, shoot 'em up, yeah
[Verse 5]
The city is at war
Playtime for the young and rich
Ignore me if you see me 'cause I just don't give a shit
The city is at war
Bless the young and rich
With designer drugs and designer friends
[Verse 6]
This little girl was alone in the world until she
Found a way to get her fix for free
Oh pretty please
It breaks my heart to see
Another tragedy
She finally got her picture on TV
[Verse 7]
Come on
Live it up while you can
We all lose in the end
No you don't get another shot
Bang bang, shoot 'em up, yeah
[Verse 8]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
[Verse 9]
The city is at war
Playtime for the young and rich
Ignore me if you see me 'cause I just don't give a shit
The city is at war
Bless the young and rich
With designer drugs and designer friends
[Verse 10]
The city is at war
The city is at war
The city is at woah oh, woah oh, oh, oh
[Verse 11]
Bang bang, shoot 'em up, shoot 'em up, yeah
Bang bang, shoot 'em up, shoot 'em up, yeah (The city is at war)
Bang bang, shoot 'em up, shoot 'em up, yeah
Bang bang, shoot 'em up, shoot 'em up, yeah (Aha)
