Basic Bitches Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Too bad my friends left town, there ain't nothing to say
And you can laugh all you want to, I know you will anyway
'Cos they had 25 reasons to go and I had only one to stay
'Cos I spent all my money
And I'd do it again
To have someone to talk to
Too bad my friends left town, it's about 88
Too bad my friends left town, if you can find any shade
Summer in the city ain't pretty when you can't afford to pay
To run your air conditioner for more than 25 minutes a day
And how many times can you go to the movies
Just to avoid other human beings,
I don't know
Summer in the city sucks
