《This Ain’t Living(Alternate Version)》歌词

[00:00:01] This Ain't Living (Alternate Version) - G. Love & Special Sauce

[00:00:44] This town's so hype it's got soul

[00:00:46] As a Philly cat

[00:00:48] I'm with the roll

[00:00:49] And the swing of my things

[00:00:50] How they work like clockwork

[00:00:52] Tick tock tick tock

[00:00:54] Times always lurking in your head

[00:00:56] Got to go to work and get fed

[00:00:58] That man didn't eat but he goes to sleep

[00:01:01] Gets up at dawn not to see the sunrise

[00:01:04] But because it's too damn cold outside

[00:01:06] Underneath the bridge they pump the city's bilge

[00:01:09] Into the alley they sweep the city's filth

[00:01:11] The flowers wilt the flowers wilt

[00:01:15] Don't tell me about no game

[00:01:17] Cause that is a man

[00:01:18] And his family

[00:01:19] Revolution family

[00:01:21] Look at the family

[00:01:22] Dig the family

[00:01:23] They're living the wrong way

[00:01:25] Can't get nothing

[00:01:26] Don't get nothing all they wanted was

[00:01:29] Something like a job mercy mercy

[00:01:31] But it's robbed mercy mercy

[00:01:34] And there's so many street side

[00:01:36] Beggars and disabled veterans

[00:01:38] Glass-eyed and peddling

[00:01:40] Drunk and just meddling

[00:01:41] So you conclude it's their fault

[00:01:43] They like the street they must like the asphalt

[00:01:45] But that is man woman and children

[00:01:48] The system has stalled shelter's home

[00:01:50] That's not what I call it

[00:01:52] I call it bad health

[00:01:53] Some say help themselves

[00:01:54] Yo if you you gots it

[00:01:57] Everyone hundred people a dollar in change

[00:02:03] Everyone hundred people a dollar in change

[00:02:08] This ain't living

[00:02:11] This ain't living

[00:02:14] This ain't living

[00:02:16] This ain't living

[00:02:18] This ain't living

[00:02:41] You know it's rough had enough for holding a

[00:02:43] Cup full of spare change

[00:02:44] The doctor diagnosed me as a

[00:02:46] Dome full of bad brains

[00:02:47] So toe to toe with employers

[00:02:49] Cause they're telling me no

[00:02:50] Hooked on prescription drugs

[00:02:52] So I stay broke I'd run away

[00:02:54] But you can't run away from

[00:02:56] Yourself or your health so

[00:02:57] I deal with the cards that I'm dealt

[00:02:58] Tweet a leet leet

[00:03:00] This morning bird sounding sweet

[00:03:01] Though I sleep on the streets

[00:03:03] I have a feeling I'm free

[00:03:05] From society's hand picked hypocrisy

[00:03:07] Mercy mercy don't give a damn for me

[00:03:11] Mercy mercy now what am I going to eat

[00:03:13] Peek through the windows of the restaurant

[00:03:15] People eating caviar fifth bucks on lunch

[00:03:18] A hand-me-down meal

[00:03:19] Full of god knows what

[00:03:20] Put it away in my gut

[00:03:22] Quick and then I wonder

[00:03:24] Why I'm sick brick for brick

[00:03:26] I know the city like my hand print

[00:03:27] Just a pit in the gutter

[00:03:29] Of a skid-row ditch

[00:03:31] But I'll survive the pain

[00:03:32] Let me know I'm alive

[00:03:34] But I still feel that I still feel

[00:03:37] This ain't living

[00:03:41] This ain't living

[00:03:44] This ain't living

[00:03:46] This ain't living

[00:04:22] Check my beat dig they rhythm

[00:04:25] Me belly full but me hungry so I fill it

[00:04:28] Once I start gaining taxes start taking

[00:04:31] Cause the governments perfected funk faking

[00:04:34] Breaking me down striking me down

[00:04:37] What goes around comes around but

[00:04:38] I keep rising seeing through the lies and

[00:04:41] The surprise comes when I see myself

[00:04:43] The music I felt

[00:04:45] I'm on

[00:04:46] This ain't living

[00:04:47] This ain't living

[00:04:50] This ain't living

[00:04:51] This ain't living

[00:04:54] This ain't living

[00:04:56] This ain't living
