Lyrics
It?s a hard life
In the city today
Someone you love
Could get blowed away
Scammers out in the street
Tryin to make ends meet
You got to push
You got to shove
Just to find a way
It?s a hard life
In the city today
Any old way
You got to struggle
With beauracracy
Cut thru the red tape
Put up with hipocrasy
And philosophical rape
And when push
Comes to shove
Gonna knock you down
Where you lay
It?s a hard life
In the city today
Any old way
It?s a hard life
In America
For many boys and girls
It?s a hard life today
All over the world
