Lyrics Living for the City - Zapp , Roger

Living...
...Just Enough For The City
Mmmmmmmm...
Ah!
A boy is born in hard time Mississippi
Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
His parents give him love and affection
To keep him strong moving in the right direction
Living just enough, just enough for the city
His father works some days for fourteen hours
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
His mother goes to scrub the floor for many
And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny
Living just enough, just enough for the city...
His sister's black but she is sho 'nuff pretty
Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy
To walk to school she's got to get up early
Her clothes are old but never are they dirt
Yeah! Yeah!
Just enough, just enough for the city.
Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many
His patience's long but soon he won't have any
Gotta find a job is like a haystack needle
Cause where he lives they don't use colored people
Living jusssssst enough, just enough for the city...
Aaaaaah... Nana... Na... Living For The City
Living just enough...
La, La, La, La, la
Da Ba Da Da Da Da Da
Da Ba La Bi Da
Living, Living, Living
Living For The City
Wait A Minute
Whoa! Whoa!
Let Me Tell You About Those Walls
Hmmmm... ahh
One Wall, One Wall Of Poverty
Hmmmm... ahh
Second Wall, Was A Wall Of Oppression
The Third Wall Was A Wall Of Deceiving
Hmm... ah
The Forth Wall, Was a Waaaaaall of...
The Wall Of Hatred
We Got To Take Down The Wall Of Hatred
Living, Living, Living City
Ehhhh... heeee'eh heeee'eh
Living For The City(Ohhhoooo)
(Living For The City)
Living For The City (Ohhhoooo)
Living For The City
