about

This song is an observation about a cultural bent for going after material wealth at the expense of happiness and family. This is not to say that being wealthy is a bad thing cos who doesn't want to be wealthy. However, I believe that the pursuit of wealth as a number one priority can ultimately get in the way of a more satisfying and happy life.

lyrics

CITY BOY
Lyrics and Music by Trysette

I sit and watch the way you think
You’re so intense about everything
Is it that important to have so much

You pay the price of wanting more
Has life itself not got it all
I smell the flower that you don’t see

City Boy
City Boy

So there you are you’re at the top
What happens now when does it stop
When do you say I’ve got enough

How is your wife how are the kids
Do you get to see that much of them
Oh no you don’t have time
I guess they’ll have to wait in line

You got your mansion I can see well
You can have it for what it’s worth
Are you so happy for all your work
The more you earn
The more you spend
The more you got
The more you want

City boy
Yeah you want it all
City boy
Thinking you are satisfied
But city boy you’re looking tired

You got your mansion I can see well
You can have it for what it’s worth
Are you so happy for all your work
The more you earn
The more you spend
The more you got
The more you want

City Boy
Yeah you want it all
City Boy
City Boy
Yeah you want it all
City Boy

The more you earn
The more you spend
The more you got
The more you want
