It's Hard To Be A Saint In The City - Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band[00:00:00]

I had skin like leather and the diamond-hard look of a cobra[00:00:20]

I was born blue and weathered but I burst just like a supernova[00:00:26]

I could walk like Brando right into the sun[00:00:29]

Then dance just like a Casanova[00:00:36]

With my blackjack and jacket and hair slicked sweet[00:00:37]

Silver star studs on my duds like a Harley in heat[00:00:43]

When I strut down the street I could feel its heartbeat[00:00:46]

The sisters fell back and said Don＇t that man look pretty[00:00:49]

The cripple on the corner cried out Nickels for your pity[00:00:53]

Them gasoline boys downtown sure talk gritty[00:00:55]

It＇s so hard to be a saint in the city[00:00:58]

I was the king of the alley mama I could talk some trash[00:01:06]

I was the prince of the paupers crowned downtown at the beggar＇s bash[00:01:10]

I was the pimp＇s main prophet I kept everything cool[00:01:18]

Just a backstreet gambler with the luck to lose[00:01:21]

And when the heat came down it was left on the ground[00:01:24]

The devil appeared like Jesus through the steam in the street[00:01:29]

Showin＇ me a hand I knew even the cops couldn＇t beat[00:01:32]

I felt his hot breath on my neck as I dove into the heat[00:01:35]

It＇s so hard to be a saint when you＇re just a boy out on the street[00:01:38]

And the sages of the subway sit just like the living dead[00:01:46]

As the tracks clack out the rhythm their eyes fixed straight ahead[00:01:48]

They ride the line of balance and hold on by just a thread[00:01:51]

But it＇s too hot in these tunnels you can get hit up by the heat[00:01:54]

You get up to get out at your next stop but they push you back down in your seat[00:01:58]

Your heart starts beatin＇ faster as you struggle to your feet[00:02:01]

Then you＇re outa that hole and back up on the street[00:02:03]

And them South Side sisters sure look pretty[00:02:06]

The cripple on the corner cries out Nickels for your pity[00:02:10]

And them downtown boys sure talk gritty[00:02:13]

It＇s so hard to be a saint in the city[00:02:16]
