Living For The City - Gillan[00:00:00]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

His sister's black but she is sure enough pretty[00:01:04]

Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy[00:01:08]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This place is cruel no where could be much colder[00:03:16]

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

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

Just enough 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]
