Progress is so good
You've got to keep it moving
You have to be rich
Or richer than your father

Money matters always seem to get you down
But money doesn't matter when you're dead
Everything will be alright
If you just have some fun

Oh, race to the city
Race to the city, now
Race to the city
You can race, you can race, you can race, you can race
You can race

Progress feels so good
But everything has limits
And if you keep this up
You'll be back where you started

'Cos money matters never seem to give you time
Someday you'll just have to stop
You try to leave it all behind
But you can't get enough

So, race to the city
Race to the city, now
Come on, race to the city
Race to the city, now

Oh, come on
City life is a lie
Oh, come on
Come on
City life is a lie

You can race, you can race, you can race, you can race
You can race to the city
Race to the city, now
Come on, race to the city
Race to the city, now

Oh, come on
City life is a lie
Oh, come on
Oh, come on
City life is a lie
