How Can I Live Like That

歌詞

Big cities, are not the place for me People crowd together, livin' in misery If you walk street blocks at night You'll be sacred as you can be There's a god watchin' with a gaunt When you buy your groceries How can you live like that? How can you live like that? The stores are all closed, long before it gets dark And you ladies are afraid, to walk alone in the park You're afraid to go to sleep, when your neighbors dog lets out a bark And mother's standing on the street corner, happy as a lark How can you live like that? How can you live like that? You're tryin' to park out front, all long the street(?) All you wanna do is just buy some food, to carry out to eat If you ride the public transportation, you better take a front seat And when you hear the ambulance and police siren you know your life's complete How can you live like that? How can you live like that? People have bars on their windows, three locks on the door Have a pistol under their pillow, a shotgun on their floor One thing about crime in the big city- They rob the rich and kill the poor And city officials keep sayin' they can't do much more How can you live like that? How can you live like that? How can you find the sun shine, when you can't see through the pollution? How can you live like that? How can can you live in one room when you spill the dust from your neighbor's broom? I said how can you live like that How can you stand the pace in such a crowded place? How can you live like that? How can you keep your feet with all these holes in this street How can you live like that? When are you going to realize, thugs and crimes are on the rise How can you live like that?
