Legacy Lyrics - City Streets - Carole King

You used to be as a child 

Full of hope and wonder 

Hey, now, do you remember those days 

Your mind was free and running wild 

Now the sound of thunder 

Has got you trapped in a corner hiding out 

You're running in a rat maze 

 

You better think about the legacy 

That you want to leave behind 

It's all getting burnt-out, used-up 

Bought and sold to the bottom line 

That ain't the way it's gotta be 

You can leave a better world than you find 

You can look down, turn aside, run away 

But you can't put it out of your mind 

'Cause it's your legacy

Don't it make your heart bleed 

Passing through the meadowland 

Wheel of fortune jackpot is what it looks like 

That's okay, go on, run your motor at high speed 

Rev it up to five grand 

Shades on, top down 

But as you barrel down the turnpike 

 

You better think about the legacy 

That you're gonna leave behind 

Things are getting wasted out of hand 

People stealing each other blind 

Hey, that ain't the way it oughta be 

You can leave a better world than you find 

You can look down, turn around, run away 

But you can't put it out of your mind 

'Cause it's your legacy

It isn't easy when you think your voice 

Doesn't matter to anyone 

Maybe you believe there's nothing you can do 

But if you just do nothing, you've made a choice 

To perpetuate the destruction 

Why don't you stand up, dig in 

When it all comes down, it's gotta begin with you 

It's you 

It's your legacy 

Baby, whatcha gonna do about it 

 

You better think about the legacy 

That you want to leave behind 

Things are getting wasted, out-of-hand, burnt-out, used-up 

Sold to the bottom line 

Hey, that ain't the way it's gotta be 

Oh, don't you want to leave a better world than you find 

You can look down, turn aside, run away and hide 

But you can't put it out of your mind 

'Cause it's your legacy 

Oh, your legacy 

 

Look here 

It's gotta start somewhere, Jack 

If you don't go forward, you're gonna go back 

Hey, you better get a plan of attack 

'Cause that's the only way that you're gonna keep track 

Of your legacy
