LIVING IN THE CITY song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

when I came to New York
I was green so green
it was the most magnificent
I ever seen

scraping the sky
so high and so pure
this was the top
of that I was sure

but down on the street
it aint so pretty
but that's the price
of living in the city

living in the city
living in the city
a town without pity
New York city

you work and you slave
to pay one more day
and then they say
play boy, just play

there was a time
when I was on fire
motivated by
a burning desire

to be one to the best
to be right there at the peak
I was foolish I guess
not so very unique

so now I am busking
for rent and for bread
trying to remember
just what was she said

I know I will be
much more that I am
but still I remember
to do what I can

down on the street
it aint so pretty
but that's the price
of living in the city

living in the city
living in the city
a town without pity
New York city
