《How Can You Live Like That?(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] How Can You Live Like That? (LP版) - Eddie Harris

[00:00:38] Big cities are not the place for me

[00:00:45] People are cramped together living in misery

[00:00:53] If you walk three blocks at night

[00:00:55] You'll be as scared as you can be

[00:01:00] There's a guard watching with a gun

[00:01:03] As you buy your grocery

[00:01:07] How can you live like that

[00:01:14] How can you live like that

[00:01:22] The stores are all closed long before it gets dark

[00:01:29] Ladies are afraid to walk alone through the park

[00:01:36] You're afraid to go to sleep

[00:01:39] When your neighbor's dog let out a bark

[00:01:43] Muggers are standing on street corners

[00:01:46] Happy as a lark

[00:01:51] How can you live like that

[00:01:58] How can you live like that

[00:02:05] You try to park in front on a lighted street

[00:02:12] Just to buy some food to carry out to eat

[00:02:19] If you ride the public transportation you take a front seat

[00:02:26] When you hear the ambulance and the police siren

[00:02:29] You know the night's complete

[00:02:34] How can you live like that

[00:02:41] How can you live like that

[00:02:47] People have bars on their windows and three locks on the door

[00:02:55] Have a pistol under their pillow

[00:02:58] And a shotgun on the floor

[00:03:02] One thing about crime in the big cities

[00:03:05] They rob the rich and kill the poor

[00:03:09] City officials keep saying

[00:03:12] That they can't do much more

[00:03:17] How can you live like that

[00:03:24] How can you live like that

[00:03:30] How can you find the solution

[00:03:33] When you can't see for the pollution

[00:03:38] How can you live like that

[00:03:44] How can you live in one room

[00:03:48] And smell the dust from your neighbor's broom

[00:03:52] How can you live like that

[00:03:59] How can you stand the pace in such a crowded place

[00:04:06] How can you live like that

[00:04:13] How can you fight inflation

[00:04:16] And plus the school situation

[00:04:20] How can you live like that

[00:04:26] How can you keep your feet with

[00:04:30] All those holes in the street

[00:04:34] How can you live like that

[00:04:41] When you gonna realize

[00:04:43] That every big city is a high rise

[00:04:48] How can you live like that

[00:04:53] How

[00:05:01] How can you live like that

[00:05:14] How can you live like that
