[Verse 1]
The streets are lined with people
People who want to move, move, move
How can all these people
Have so much to prove, prove, prove?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I can only ask myself
Oh, where are you all going?
And won't you take me with you to
Where all the sirens are blowing?
[Chorus]
Uptight Downtown
All the blue lights fighting with the crowds
And oh, I know the temperature is rising, is rising
Uptight Downtown
All the blue lights fighting with the crowds
And oh, I know the temperature is rising, is rising
[Verse 2]
The streets are lined with people
With nothing left to lose, lose, lose
When did all these people
Decide to change their shoes, shoes, shoes?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I can only ask myself
Oh, where are you all going?
And won't you take me with you to
Where all the sirens are blowing?
[Chorus]
Uptight Downtown
All the blue lights fighting with the crowds
And oh, I know the temperature is rising, is rising
Uptight Downtown
All the blue lights fighting with the crowds
And oh, I know the temperature is rising, is rising
[Bridge]
(Uptight, uptight)
(Uptight, uptight)
(Uptight, uptight)
(Uptight, uptight)
Uptight Downtown
Uptight Downtown
Uptight Downtown
Uptight Downtown
[Outro]
Why are we fighting? I don't understand
Oh, but the temperature's rising tonight
(Why are we fighting? I don't understand)
All the blue lights fighting with the crowds
And oh, I know the temperature is rising, is rising
