Lyrics Inner City Blues - Living Colour

Inner City Blues

Rockets, moon shot
Spend it all on the have-nots
Money, we make it
By the time we see it
You take it, you take it
Oh, they make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Oh, they make me wanna holler
The way they do my life, they do my life
This ain’t livin'
This ain’t livin'
This ain’t livin'
This ain’t livin', this ain’t livin'
And for sure, no chance
To increase finance
And the bills pile up sky high
Send that boy off to die
Off to die
Oh, they make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Oh, they make me wanna holler
The way they do my life, they do my life
This ain’t livin' (this ain’t livin')
This ain’t livin' (this ain’t livin')
This ain’t livin' (this ain’t livin')
This ain’t livin' (this ain’t livin')
This ain’t livin' (this ain’t livin')
This ain’t livin' (this ain’t livin')
This ain’t livin' (this ain’t livin')
This ain’t livin', this ain’t livin'
Hang-ups and let-downs
Bad breaks and setbacks
The natural fact is
I can’t go on like this
I can’t go on!
The crime is increasin'
Trigger-happy policin' (happy policin'!)
The panic is spreading
God knows where we’re heading
Where we’re heading
Oh, it makes me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands
Oh, it makes me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands
This ain’t livin' (this ain’t livin')
This ain’t livin' (this ain’t livin')
This ain’t livin' (this ain’t livin')
This ain’t livin' (this ain’t livin')
This ain’t livin' (this ain’t livin')
This ain’t livin' (this ain’t livin')
This ain’t livin' (this ain’t livin')
This ain’t livin', this ain’t livin'
This ain’t livin'
(This ain’t livin')
This ain’t livin', this ain’t livin'
