Lyrics
0:09Give me my power
0:12Give me my power
0:15Give me my power
0:18Give me my power
0:20I built this city
0:22Got up in the car
0:23Creeped in the steel
0:25Please give me mine
0:26Tree's give em' back
0:28Give me tourists
0:29Give me traffic
0:31Give me noise
0:32Just give it back
0:34Could you bring back all my police
0:36Give me order
0:37Turn back on my lights
0:39Give me fuel and water
0:40I think I'm begging
0:42Cause' now that everything's gone
0:43I'm needing mine I'm needing mine
0:46With the streets all dark
0:52It looks like my building's are gone
0:59I made you the mayor of my town honey
1:02And I'm why you are the senate representative
1:05I gave you the key to my city
1:07Gave you Power over Power over me
1:12Give it to me Give it back to me
1:17The city belongs to me
1:20The city is ours no more
1:23Tell the government Please give me funding
1:27Can't you see that I'm doing bad
1:30Give me floodgates Give me Levy's
1:32Too much water can you push it back
1:36How you just gon' leave me out of order
1:39I ain't got no lights and no fuel to start up
1:42I know I'm begging
1:43Cause' now that everything's dried up
1:45I'm needing mine I'm needing mine
1:48And with the streets all dark
1:54The buildings look lost
2:00I made you the mayor of my town honey
2:03I'm why you are the senate representative
2:06I gave you the key to my city
2:09All power over power over me
2:13Give it to me Give it back to me
2:18The city belongs to me
2:21The city is ours no more
2:27We used to be sky high
2:33We used to be major
2:39We used to be sky high
2:46We used to be major baby major
2:50Give it to me Give it back to me
2:56The city mine baby This whole city is mine
3:00The city is mine honey
3:02Give it to me Give it back to me
3:08The city is mine oh baby The city is mine

Give me my power Give me my power Give me my power Give me my power I built this city Got up in the car Creeped in the steel Please give me mine Tree's give em' back Give me tourists Give me traffic Give me noise Just give it back Could you bring back all my police Give me order Turn back on my lights Give me fuel and water I think I'm begging Cause' now that everything's gone I'm needing mine I'm needing mine With the streets all dark It looks like my building's are gone I made you the mayor of my town honey And I'm why you are the senate representative I gave you the key to my city Gave you Power over Power over me Give it to me Give it back to me The city belongs to me The city is ours no more Tell the government Please give me funding Can't you see that I'm doing bad Give me floodgates Give me Levy's Too much water can you push it back How you just gon' leave me out of order I ain't got no lights and no fuel to start up I know I'm begging Cause' now that everything's dried up I'm needing mine I'm needing mine And with the streets all dark The buildings look lost I made you the mayor of my town honey I'm why you are the senate representative I gave you the key to my city All power over power over me Give it to me Give it back to me The city belongs to me The city is ours no more We used to be sky high We used to be major We used to be sky high We used to be major baby major Give it to me Give it back to me The city mine baby This whole city is mine The city is mine honey Give it to me Give it back to me The city is mine oh baby The city is mine The city is mine Give it to me Give it back to me
