How Can You Live Like That? (LP版) - Eddie Harris[00:00:00]
Big cities are not the place for me[00:00:38]
People are cramped together living in misery[00:00:45]
If you walk three blocks at night[00:00:53]
You'll be as scared as you can be[00:00:55]
There's a guard watching with a gun[00:01:00]
As you buy your grocery[00:01:03]
How can you live like that[00:01:07]
How can you live like that[00:01:14]
The stores are all closed long before it gets dark[00:01:22]
Ladies are afraid to walk alone through the park[00:01:29]
You're afraid to go to sleep[00:01:36]
When your neighbor's dog let out a bark[00:01:39]
Muggers are standing on street corners[00:01:43]
Happy as a lark[00:01:46]
How can you live like that[00:01:51]
How can you live like that[00:01:58]
You try to park in front on a lighted street[00:02:05]
Just to buy some food to carry out to eat[00:02:12]
If you ride the public transportation you take a front seat[00:02:19]
When you hear the ambulance and the police siren[00:02:26]
You know the night's complete[00:02:29]
How can you live like that[00:02:34]
How can you live like that[00:02:41]
People have bars on their windows and three locks on the door[00:02:47]
Have a pistol under their pillow[00:02:55]
And a shotgun on the floor[00:02:58]
One thing about crime in the big cities[00:03:02]
They rob the rich and kill the poor[00:03:05]
City officials keep saying[00:03:09]
That they can't do much more[00:03:12]
How can you live like that[00:03:17]
How can you live like that[00:03:24]
How can you find the solution[00:03:30]
When you can't see for the pollution[00:03:33]
How can you live like that[00:03:38]
How can you live in one room[00:03:44]
And smell the dust from your neighbor's broom[00:03:48]
How can you live like that[00:03:52]
How can you stand the pace in such a crowded place[00:03:59]
How can you live like that[00:04:06]
How can you fight inflation[00:04:13]
And plus the school situation[00:04:16]
How can you live like that[00:04:20]
How can you keep your feet with[00:04:26]
All those holes in the street[00:04:30]
How can you live like that[00:04:34]
When you gonna realize[00:04:41]
That every big city is a high rise[00:04:43]
How can you live like that[00:04:48]
How[00:04:53]
How can you live like that[00:05:01]
How can you live like that[00:05:14]
