  • People in a show
    All lined in a row
    We just push on by
    It's funny, how hard we try
    Don't you wanna know me?
    Be a friend of mine
    I'll share some wisdom with you
    Don't you ever get lonely
    From time to time
    Don't let the system get you down

    Big City Life, me try fi get by
    Pressure nah ease up, no matter how hard me try
    Big City Life, here my heart have no base
    And right now Babylon de 'pon mi case
    Big City Life, try fi get by
    Pressure nah ease up, no matter how hard me try
    Big City Life, my heart have no base
    And right now Babylon de 'pon mi case

    Don't you wanna know me?
    Be a friend of mine
    I'll share some wisdom with you
    Don't you ever get lonely
    From time to time
    Don't let the system get you down

    Big City Life, me try fi get by
    Pressure nah ease up, no matter how hard mi try
    Big City Life, here my heart have no base
    And right now Babylon de 'pon mi case

    (Don't let the system get you down)

    Big City Life, me try fi get by
    Pressure nah ease up, no matter how hard mi try
    Big City Life, here my heart have no base
    And right now Babylon de 'pon mi case
