《Living For The City》歌词

[00:00:00] Living For The City - Ian Gillan Band/Gillan

[00:00:16] A boy is born in hard time Mississippi

[00:00:20] Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty

[00:00:24] His parents give him love and affection

[00:00:28] To keep him strong moving in the right direction

[00:00:31] Living just enough just enough for the city

[00:00:40] His father works some days for fourteen hours

[00:00:44] And you can bet he hardly makes a dollar

[00:00:47] His mother goes to scrub the floor for many

[00:00:52] You'd best believe she hardly makes a penny

[00:00:55] Living just enough just enough for the city

[00:01:03] His sister's black but she is sure enough pretty

[00:01:07] Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy

[00:01:11] To walk to school she's got to get up early

[00:01:15] Her clothes are old but never are they dirty

[00:01:19] Living just enough just enough for the city

[00:01:42] Her brother's smart he got more sense than many

[00:01:46] His patience's long but soon he won't have any

[00:01:50] To find a job is like a haystack needle

[00:01:54] But where he lives they don't use colored people

[00:01:57] Living just enough just enough for the city

[00:02:05] His hair is long his feet are hard and gritty

[00:02:10] He spends his time walking the streets of New York City

[00:02:14] He's almost dead from breathing air pollution

[00:02:18] He tried to vote but for him there's no solution

[00:02:21] Living just enough just enough for the city

[00:03:07] I hope you hear this voice and song of my sorrow

[00:03:12] And it motivates you to make a better tomorrow

[00:03:15] This place is cruel no where could be much colder

[00:03:19] If we don't change the world will soon be over

[00:03:23] Living just enough stoping just enough for the city

[00:03:31] Just enough just enough for the city

[00:03:39] Just enough just enough for the city

[00:03:47] Just enough just enough for the city
