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

A boy is born in hard time Mississippi[00:00:11]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Living for the city [00:03:50]

Living for the city [00:04:34]

Living just enough 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]
