living for the city
Singer:bonnie tyler
a boy is born in hardtime
surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
his parents give him love and affection
movin' in the right direction
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
but she is sho 'nuff pretty
but lord her legs are sturdy
she's got to get up early
he's got more sense than many
but soon he won't have any
to find a job is like a haystack needle
they don't use colored people
living just enough for the city
