[Verse] Well I’m dressed up so nice N.C.         An’ I’m doin’ my best Yes I’m startin’ over.. N.C. Startin’ over in another place [Verse] Lemme tell you a story N.C. Big chief with a golden crown He’s got rings on his fingers N.C. And he walks up up to the throne [Verse] He’s makin’ shapes with his hands N.C. An’ don’t you dare sit back Now don’t you dare sit down N.C. And don’t you dare speak up [Chorus] And on the first day we had everything we could stand Who could have asked for more? And on the second day there was nothing else left to do Ooh what a day that was [Verse] Well there are 50000 beggars N.C. Roaming in the streets And they have lost all their possessions N.C. They have nothing left to eat [Verse] Down come a bolt of lightning N.C. Start an electrical storm And starts a chain reaction N.C. Go pull a fire alarm [Verse] I said I I’m dreaming of a city N.C. It was my own invention And I put the wheels in motion   N.C. A time for big decisions [Chorus] And on the first day we had everything we could stand Ooh and then we let it fall And on the second day there was nothing else left at all Ooh what a day that was [Bridge] Oh a day that was Ooh that’s the way it goes There’s a million ways to get things done Three’s a million ways to make things work out [Verse] Well I’m going right through N.C. And the light came down Well they’re roundin’ ’em up N.C. From all over the town [Verse] They’re movin’ forward and backwards N.C. They’re movin’ backwards and front And they’re enjoying themselves N.C. Moving in every direction [Verse] And if you feel like you’re in a whirlpool N.C. You feel like going home You feel like talking to someone N.C. Who knows the difference between right and wrong [Chorus] Oh and on the first day we had everything we could stand Ooh and then we let it fall And on the second day there was nothing else left at all Ooh what a day that was [Outro] We’re goin’ boom boom boom N.C. And that’s the way we live And in a great big room  N.C.    And that’s the way we live
