Some Tough City |
| Momma’s in the kitchen with mister Joe |
| And daddy must be halfway to St. Paul by now |
| And the people next door won’t let’cha get no sleep |
| Seems like they’ve been fighting there all week |
| And it gets so hot down here in east L. A |
| And the streets are gonna run like a river today |
| And the welfare man, yeah he’s waiting at the door |
| Wants to have a word with mamma |
| And he wants a little bit more |
| And no one’s tryin' anymore |
| Ya just get promises |
| And you’ve heard all the promises before |
| Oh, this is some tough city |
| Yeah, this is one hard town |
| Wo-ho, this is some tough city |
| They build you up and then they tear you down |
| Oh, this is one tough city |
| Wo-ho, this is one tough city |
| This is one hard town |
| Hard town baby, yeah, yeah, yeah |
| There’s man on the radio |
| And he’s readin' the news |
| Says things are tough all over like 1932 |
| Ain’t no hope when it gets this slow |
| Seems like everybody gave up years ago |
| And no one’s tryin' anymore, anymore |
| Ya just get promises |
| And you’ve heard all the promises before |
| Yes you have now |
| Oh, this is some tough city |
| Yeah, this is one hard town |
| Wo-ho, this is some tough city |
| They build you up and then they tear you down, tear you down |
| Yes they tear you down, tear you down |
| This is one hard town |
| Hard town baby, yeah, yeah |
| There’s a line outside the mission |
| Gonna get you what’cha want |
| And the salvation army’s got the sisters out in front |
| And the unemployment office it stays open all night long |
| And the President keeps sayin' |
| Yeah, we’ll make this country strong |
| Oh, this is some tough city |
| Yeah, this is one hard town |
| Wo-ho, this is some tough city |
| They build you up and then they tear you down |
| Oh, this is some tough city |
| Yeah, this is one hard town |
| Wo-ho, this is some tough city |
| They build you up and then they tear you down |
| Oh, this is some tough city |
| This is one hard town |
| (this is some tough city) |
| Yes, they’ll tear you down |
| Oh, this is some tough city |
| This is one hard town-oh, this is some tough city |
| They build you up… |
