Stevie Wonder - Living for the City
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 city...ee 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 sister's black but she is sho'nuff pretty
Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy
To walk to school she's got to get up early
Her clothes are old but never are they dirty
Living just enough, just enough for the city...um hum
Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many
His patience's long but soon he won't have any
To find a job is like a haystack needle
Cause where he lives they don't use colored people
Living just enough, just enough for the city...
Living just enough...
For the city... ooh, ooh
(Repeat several times)
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...
yeah, yeah, yeah!
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, stop giving just enough for the city!!!!
La, La, La, La, La, La,
Da Ba Da Da Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da
(Repeat to end)

It's all the same, only the names will change Everyday it seems we're wasted away Another place where the faces are so cold I drive all night Just to {...a wise ass} get back home
I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse i ride {i ride} {uh, wanted} i'm wanted {yah! dead or alive} dead or alive Wanted dead or alive {yah! this song sucks}
{...man this has got to be boring} Sometimes i sleep {uh oh, here we go again}, Sometimes it's not {man, give it a rest} for days And people {you suck} i meet always go their separate ways Sometimes i tell the day By the bottle that you drink And times when you're alone {i told ya you suck} all you do is think
Cause i'm a cowboy {no you're a dick}, On a steel horse i ride {bah} I'm wanted {yah!} dead or alive Wanted {wanted} dead or alive
{...uh check out that, check out that that...} {check out this... }
Cause i'm a cowboy, On a steel horse i ride {yeah ride this you faggot} I'm wanted dead or alive {yeah, gimme a gun i'll fuckin shoot you}
Well i walk the streets {what are you a prostitute?}, A loaded six string on my back {yeah i bet you got something else on your back} I play for keeps {yah!}, 'cause i might not make it back {make it back} I been everywhere {everywhere}, Still i'm standing tall {standing tall, yeah yeah} I've seen a million faces And i've rocked them all {yeah i'll fuckin rock you, you dick}
I'm a cowboy {...a cowboy}, on a steel horse i ride {...i'll steel horse your lucky faggot} I'm wanted {wanted} dead or alive {dead or alive} Cause i'm a cowboy {cowboy}, I got the night on my side {night on my side} I'm wanted {wanted} dead or alive, and all right {yeah!} Dead or alive Still i try {don't try me man} Dead or alive {alive} Dead or alive {john man give me a gun} dead or alive Dead or alive, yeah {yeah}
