We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drumming
Four dead in Ohio
Soldiers are gunning us down
Should have been done long ago
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?
Soldiers are gunning us down
Should have been done long ago
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drumming
Four dead in Ohio
Don't need no money
Ain't got no stash
This note's for you
Ain't singin' for Coke
I don't sing for nobody
Makes me look like a joke
This note's for you
Don't sing for Bud
I won't sing for politicians
Ain't singin' for Spuds
This note's for you
Don't want no money
Ain't got no stash
This note's for you
I got the real thing, baby
I got the real thing
Yeah, alright
On a rainy day
Families livin' under freeways
It's the American way
Starvin' in the city
While the farm goes to seed
Murder in the home
And crime on the streets
Don't that trouble you pal?
Don't that trouble you sister?
Well, that's life in the city
Are boarded up and closed
Or being sold to someone
Nobody knows
I got a woman that loves me
And I love her so
She's all dressed up now
With nowhere to go
Don't that trouble you pal?
Don't that trouble you sister?
Well, that's life in the city
That's life in the city
Hear what I have to say
Ever since I was knee high
I rocked my blues away
But people sleepin' on the sidewalks
And families in need
Murder in the home
And crime on the streets
Don't that trouble you pal?
Don't that kill you sister?
Well, that's life in the city
