"I Live In A City" lyrics
"I Live In A City"
(originally by Malvina Reynolds)
I live in a city, yes I do
I live in a city, yes I do
I live in a city, yes I do
Made by human hands
Black hands, white hands, yellow and brown
All together built this town
Black hands, white hands, yellow and brown
All together makes the wheels go 'round
I live in a city, yes I do
I live in a city, yes I do
I live in a city, yes I do
Made by human hands
Brown hands, yellow hands, white and black
Mined the coal and built the stack
Brown hands, yellow hands, white and black
Built the engine and laid the track
I live in a city, yes I do
I live in a city, yes I do
I live in a city, yes I do
Made by human hands
Black hands, brown hands, yellow and white
Built the buildings tall and bright
Black hands, brown hands, yellow and white
Filled them all with shining lights
I live in a city, yes I do
I live in a city, yes I do
I live in a city, yes I do
Made by human hands
Black hands, white hands, brown and tan
Milled the flour and clean the pan
Black hands, white hands, brown and tan
The working woman and the working man
I live in a city, yes I do
I live in a city, yes I do
I live in a city, yes I do
Made by human hands
