《Living For The City》歌词

[00:00:00] Living For The City - Michael Mcdonald (麦克·麦当劳)

[00:00:11] 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 enough for the city

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

[00:00:46] And you can bet he barely makes a dollar

[00:00:51] His mother goes to scrub the floor for many

[00:00:56] And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny

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

[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

[00:01:42] Her clothes are old but never are they dirty

[00:01:46] Living just enough just enough for the city

[00:01:57] Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many

[00:02:02] 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

[00:02:48] His hair is long his feet are hard and gritty

[00:02:53] He spends his love walking the streets of New York City

[00:02:58] He's almost dead from breathing on air pollution

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

[00:03:07] Living just enough just enough for the city

[00:03:18] I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow

[00:03:22] And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow

[00:03:27] This place is cruel no where could be much colder

[00:03:32] If we don't change the world will soon be over

[00:03:36] Living just enough just enough for the city

[00:03:46] Living Living for the city

[00:03:50] Living for the city

[00:04:34] Living for the city

[00:04:36] Living just enough for the city

[00:04:40] Living just enough for the city

[00:04:45] Living just enough for the city

[00:04:50] Living just enough for the city
