Life In The City

[Verse 1]
People sleeping on the sidewalks
On a rainy day
Families living under freeways
It's the American way
Starving in the city
While the farm goes to seed
Murder in the home
And crime on the streets

[Chorus]
Don't that trouble you brother?
Don't that trouble you pal?
Don't that trouble you sister?
Well, that's life in the city
[Verse 2]
All our old hangouts
Are boarded up and closed
Or being sold to someone
Nobody knows
I got a woman that loves me
And I love her so
She's all dressed up now
With nowhere to go

[Chorus]

That's life in the city

[Verse 3]
Listen to me people
Hear what I have to say
Ever since I was knee high
I rocked my blues away
But people
Sleeping on the sidewalks
And families in need
Murder in the home
And crime on the streets

[Chorus]
