《Living For The City》歌词

[00:00:12] A boy is born in hard time mississippi

[00:00:16] Surrounded by four walls that ain’t so pretty

[00:00:21] His parents give him love and affection

[00:00:26] To keep him strong moving in the right direction

[00:00:30] Living just enough just enough for the city ee ha

[00:00:41] His father works some days for fourteen hours

[00:00:45] And you can bet he barely makes a dollar

[00:00:48] His mother goes to scrub the floors for many

[00:00:55] And you’d best believe she hardly gets a penny

[00:00:59] Living just enough just enough for the city yeah

[00:01:27] His sister’s black but she is sho’nuff pretty

[00:01:32] Her skirt is short but lord her legs are sturdy

[00:01:37] To walk to school she’s got to get up early

[00:01:41] Her clothes are old but never are they dirty

[00:01:45] Living just enough just enough for the city um hum

[00:01:56] Her brother’s smart he’s got more sense than many

[00:02:01] His patience’s long but soon he won’t have any

[00:02:06] To find a job is like a haystack needle

[00:02:11] Cause where he lives they don’t use colored people

[00:02:15] Living just enough just enough for the city

[00:02:52] Living just enough For the city

[00:03:00] His hair is long his feet are hard and gritty

[00:03:03] He spends his life walking the streets of new york city

[00:03:08] He’s almost dead from breathing in air pollution

[00:03:13] He tried to vote but to him there’s no solution

[00:03:19] Living just enough just enough for the city

[00:03:22] Yeah yeah yeah

[00:03:23] I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow

[00:03:25] And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow

[00:03:30] This place is cruel no where could be much colder

[00:03:35] If we don’t change the world will soon be over

[00:03:39] Living just enough stop giving just enough for the city
