Life In The City Lyrics - Bluenote Cafe - Neil Young And Bluenote Cafe

People sleepin' on the sidewalks 

On a rainy day 

Families livin' under freeways 

It's the American way 

Starvin' in the city 

While the farm goes to seed 

Murder in the home 

And crime on the streets. 

Don't that trouble you brother? 

Don't that trouble you pal? 

Don't that trouble you sister? 

Well, that's life in the city. 

All our old hangouts 

Are boarded up and closed 

Or being sold to someone 

Nobody knows 

I got a woman that loves me 

And I love her so 

She's all dressed up now 

With nowhere to go. 

Don't that trouble you brother? 

Don't that trouble you pal? 

Don't that trouble you sister? 

Well, that's life in the city. 

That's life in the city. 

Listen to me people 

Hear what I have to say 

Ever since I was knee high 

I rocked my blues away 

But people sleepin' on the sidewalks 

And families in need 

Murder in the home 

And crime on the streets. 

Don't that trouble you brother? 

Don't that trouble you pal? 

Don't that kill you sister? 

Well, that's life in the city.
