♫ Verse:
A         E
That's life in the big city
  A           E
You beg for mercy but you get no pity
A       E
Low-life zero mentality
 A          E
Vandalized victims of depravity
 A          E
A Fast food, take-out mentality
     A
Where the dogs eat the dogs
    E
And the innocent bleed
A              E
The city can't cope and the cops don't care
    A
There's fear in the streets
      E
And it's a jungle out there

♫ Pre-Chorus:
E
I don't want it, don't want it
E
Don't want it, don't want it

♫ Chorus:
D         A
Somebody stole my car
D         A
Somebody stole my automobile
D               A
They ripped off the radio and sold the wheels
      C
And if it's happened to you
     G
Then you know how I feel
G
Somebody stole my car

♫ Chorus:
D         A
Somebody stole my car
D          A
I left it parked outside of my home
     D       A
It had a new A/C and a cellular phone
      C
And I'm as sick as a dog
        G
'Cos I'm still paying off the loan
G
Somebody stole my car

♫ Solo:

♫ Verse:
A         E
That's life in the metropolis
A          E
Living on credit and overdrawn interest
A           E
Craving commercialized commodities
A           E
Everything advertised, stirring up greed
A    D E
Everyday I wonder why
A    D E
Everyday I can't get away
  A         E
The city's in debt, up past its ears
    A
Yet we still borrow more
      E
And pay it back next year
    A            E
Now I'm paying for a car that I no longer own
    A         E
And the next time anybody offers me a loan I'll say

♫ Chorus:
D         A
Somebody stole my car
D                A
It's just been cleaned and I've just had it taxed
    D        A
It had brand-new stereo speakers in the back
   C
And I call up the cops
    G
With a panic attack
G
Somebody stole my car

Somebody stole my car
D                A
I bet they're riding around and running red lights
D             A
Got chicks in the back and ballin' all night
    C
While I sit at home
    G
Getting more uptight
G
Somebody stole my car

Burn it up and break it
         A
Hey, that's my car
