《Living For The City》歌词

[00:00:00] Living For The City - Ray Charles (雷·查尔斯)

[00:00:30] A boy is born in hard time Mississippi

[00:00:35] Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty

[00:00:40] His parents give him love and affection

[00:00:45] To keep him strong moving in the right direction

[00:00:50] Living just enough just enough for the city ee

[00:01:01] His father works some days for fourteen hours

[00:01:06] And you can bet he barely makes a dollar

[00:01:11] His mother goes to scrub the floors for many

[00:01:16] And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny

[00:01:20] Living just enough just enough for the city yeah

[00:01:32] His sister's black but she is sho'nuff pretty

[00:01:37] Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy

[00:01:42] To walk to school she's got to get up early

[00:01:47] Her clothes are old but never are they dirty

[00:01:51] Living just enough just enough for the city wait a min

[00:02:03] Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many

[00:02:08] His patience's long but soon he won't have any

[00:02:13] To find a job is like a haystack needle

[00:02:18] Cause where he lives they don't use colored people

[00:02:23] Living just enough just enough for the city

[00:03:33] For the city

[00:04:07] His hair is long his feet are hard and gritty

[00:04:11] He spends his life walking the streets of New York City

[00:04:17] He's almost dead from breathing in air pollution

[00:04:22] He tried to vote but to him there's no solution

[00:04:26] Living just enough just enough for the city v yeah yeah yeah

[00:04:38] I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow

[00:04:42] And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow

[00:04:48] This place is cruel no where could be much colder

[00:04:53] If we don't change the world will soon be over

[00:04:58] Living just enough stop giving just enough for the city
