Toto - Living for the City lyrics
[Toto - Living for the City lyrics]
A boy is born in hard time Mississippi
Surrounded by 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 cityee ha!
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 hair is long
His feet are hard and gritty
He spends his life walking the
Streets of New York City
He's almost dead from breathing
In air pollution he tried to vote but to
Him there's no solution
Living just enough, just enough for the city
I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow
And that it motivates you to
Make a better tomorrow
This place is cruel no where
Could be much colder
If we don't change the world
Will soon be over
Living just enough for the city ooh, ooh
Surrounded by 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 cityee ha!
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 hair is long
His feet are hard and gritty
He spends his life walking the
Streets of New York City
He's almost dead from breathing
In air pollution he tried to vote but to
Him there's no solution
Living just enough, just enough for the city
I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow
And that it motivates you to
Make a better tomorrow
This place is cruel no where
Could be much colder
If we don't change the world
Will soon be over
Living just enough for the city ooh, ooh
