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… |
