Difficult City (ground down version)

lyrics

What keeps you from being happy?
All the records that you want
It's no crime to grow up, baby
Birds surround you as you walk

Ground down, ground down

You only wanted to be happy
Worshiped, pampered and adored
It's no crime to build an empire
It's no crime to just be bored

This is a difficult city
and every meaningful victory
If meaning more in this town

This is a difficult city
winning ain't everything
but winning's sticking around

Ground down, ground down

I don't know when i'll have had enough of this place
i know i haven't had enough yet
i don't know when i'll have had enough of your face
I know I haven't had enough of it

Prove the minimum of brilliance
It will never be enough
Play every card that's stacked against you
Winning's learning to be tough

This is a difficult city
and every meaningful victory's
meaning more in this town

This is a difficult city
money ain't everything
money keeps you around

This is a difficult city
winning ain't everything
Winning is sticking around

This is a difficult city
This is a difficult city
This is a difficult city
Ground down, ground down
Ground down, ground down
Ground down
