The Dirtbombs - Livin' for the City lyrics
[The Dirtbombs - Livin' for the City lyrics]
A boy is brought from hard time Teocaltiche
To El Norte home
Four walls that ain't so pretty
His parents give him love and affection
To keep him strong moving
In the right direction
Living just enough, just enough for the city
Yeah
His father works some days for fourteen hours
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
His mother goes to scrub the floors for many
And you'd best believe she
Hardly gets a penny
Living just enough, just enough for the city
Yeah
His sister's dark
But she is sure enough pretty
Her skirt is short, but Lord
Her legs are sturdy
To walk to school, she's got to get up early
Her clothes are old, but never are they dirty
Living just enough, just enough for the city
(Mm hmm)
Hermano es inteligente
Tienes más sentido que muchos
Es muy paciente, muy pronto pa' acabar
Encontrar trabajo es buscar una
Aguja en un pajar
Donde él vive, no quieren la raza
Living just enough, just enough for the city
Yeah
(Living just enough for the city now)
(Living just enough for the city now)
Living for the city, yeah, yeah
(Living just enough for the city now)
(Living just enough for the city now)
Ooh, living for the city now, yeah
Living for the city, yeah, hahaha
(Living just enough for the city now)
Living for the city, oh yeah
(Living just enough for the city now)
Living for the city
(Living just enough for the city now)
Living for the city
(Living just enough for the city now)
To El Norte home
Four walls that ain't so pretty
His parents give him love and affection
To keep him strong moving
In the right direction
Living just enough, just enough for the city
Yeah
His father works some days for fourteen hours
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
His mother goes to scrub the floors for many
And you'd best believe she
Hardly gets a penny
Living just enough, just enough for the city
Yeah
His sister's dark
But she is sure enough pretty
Her skirt is short, but Lord
Her legs are sturdy
To walk to school, she's got to get up early
Her clothes are old, but never are they dirty

(Living just enough for the city now)
Living for the city, yeah, yeah
(Living just enough for the city now)
(Living just enough for the city now)
Ooh, living for the city now, yeah
Living for the city, yeah, hahaha
(Living just enough for the city now)
Living for the city, oh yeah
(Living just enough for the city now)
Living for the city
(Living just enough for the city now)
Living for the city
(Living just enough for the city now)
