saved up for weeks just to buy yourself that dress
you're such a star you look like nobody else
work in an office/cage/a factory line
working for peanuts
one thing on your mind

you go out dancing taking [bad word] with your friends
you feel so good you never want it to end
and when [bad word] hits & monday arrives
back in the office/cage/a factory line

dream of

Uptown uptown uptown
saturday night
Uptown uptown uptown
lost in the night

and it's so hard
and it's so hard
and it's so hard
to get by in this town
and it's so hard
and it's so hard
and it's so hard
to survive in this town

Uptown uptown uptown
Uptown uptown uptown

sometimes you wonder what you're doing with your life
just work/consume/just work/consume
'till you die
sometimes it feels the only time
you're alive
is when you go out on a saturday night

and it's so hard
and it's so hard
and it's so hard
to get by in this town
and it's so hard
and it's so hard
and it's so hard
to survive in this town

Uptown uptown uptown
Uptown uptown uptown

and it's so hard
and it's so hard
and it's so hard
to get by in this town
and it's so hard
and it's so hard
and it's so hard
to survive in this town
