"Life In The City" lyrics

"Life In The City"
(feat. The Bluenotes)

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

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

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

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

That's life in the city

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

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
