Somebody Stole My Car Lyrics - Kinks

That's life in the big city 

You beg for mercy but you got no pity 

Low-life zero mentality 

Vandalized victims of depravity 

Fast food, take-out mentality 

Where the dogs eat the dogs 

And the innocent bleed 

The city can't cope and the cops don't care 

There's fear in the streets 

It's a jungle out there 

I don't want it, don't want it 

Don't want it, don't want it

Chorus: 

Somebody stole my car 

Somebody stole my automobile 

They ripped off the radio and sold the wheels 

And if it's happened to you 

Then you know how I feel 

Somebody stole my car 

somebody stole my car 

I left it parked outside of my home 

It had a new A/C and a cellular phone 

And I'm as sick as a dog 

'Cos I'm still paying off the loan 

Somebody stole my car 

Photos 

That's life in the metropolis 

Living on credit and overdrawn interest 

Craving commercialized commodities 

Everything advertised, stirring up greed 

Everyday I wonder why 

Everyday I can't get away 

The city's in debt, up past its ears 

Yet we still borrow more 

And pay it back next year 

Now I'm paying for a car that I no longer own 

And the next time anybody offers me a loan 

I'll say I don't want it, don't want it 

Don't want it, don't want it 

Somebody stole my car 

It's just been cleaned and I've just had it taxed 

It had brand-new stereo speakers in the back 

And I call up the cops 

With a panic attack 

Somebody stole my car 

Somebody stole my car 

I bet they're riding around and running red lights 

Got chicks in the back and ballin' all night 

While I sit at home 

Getting more uptight 

Somebody stole my car 

Chorus 

Don't want it, don't want it 

Don't want it, don't want it 

Somebody stole my car 

Somebody stole my car 

Somebody stole my car 

That life in the metropolis 

Possessions mean nothing in a world like this 

Some punks wanna ride and they see my car 

So they take it, shake it 

Burn it up and break it 

Hey, that's my car 

Somebody stole my car
