Current song lyrics
A boy is born in hard time Mississippi<br />Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty<br />His parents give him love and affection<br />To keep him strong; Moving in the right direction<br />Living just enough, just enough for the city...ee ha!<br /><br />His father works some days for fourteen hours<br />And you can bet he barely makes a dollar<br />His mother goes to scrub the floors for many<br />And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny<br />Living just enough, just enough for the city... yeah!<br /><br />His sister's black but she is sho'nuff pretty<br />Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy<br />To walk to school she's got to get up early<br />Her clothes are old but never are they dirty<br />Living just enough, just enough for the city...um hum<br /><br />Her brother's smart; He's got more sense than many<br />His patience's long but soon he won't have any<br />To find a job is like a haystack needle<br />Cause where he lives they don't use colored people<br />Living just enough, just enough for the city...<br /><br />Living just enough... for the city... ooh, ooh<br />(Repeat several times)<br /><br />His hair is long; His feet are hard and gritty<br />He spends his life walking the streets of New York City<br />He's almost dead from breathing in air pollution<br />He tried to vote but to him there's no solution<br />Living just enough, just enough for the city... yeah, yeah, yeah!<br /><br />I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow<br />And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow<br />This place is cruel no where could be much colder<br />If we don't change the world will soon be over<br />Living just enough, stop giving just enough for the city!<br /><br />La, La, La, La, La, La; Da Ba Da Da Da Da Da Da<br />Da Da Da Da Da Da; Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da<br />(Repeat to end)
