If it came to pass that they should ask
Would they criticize behind my back
Oh if only then and only then
They'd turn a full-blooded city boy
Into a full-blooded city man
I could take it in their eyes
And sacred cows just fake it
If only then and only then
They'd turn a full-blooded city boy
Into a full-blooded city man
But I know the way they want me
In the way they publicize
If they could turn their focus off
To the image in their eyes
Maybe it would help them, help them understand
Maybe it would help them, help them understand
Maybe it would help them, help them understand
That a full-blooded city boy
Is now a full-blooded city man
