Baltimore

[Verse 1] Beat-up little seagull on a marble stair Tryin' to find the ocean, lookin' everywhere Hard times in the city, in a hard town by the sea Ain't nowhere to run to, there ain't nothin' here for free Hooker on the corner, waiting for a train Drunk lying on the sidewalk, sleeping in the rain And the people hide their faces as they hide their eyes Cause the city's dyin' and they don't know why [Chorus] Oh, Baltimore, ain't it hard just to live? Oh, Baltimore, ain't it hard just to live? Just to live [Verse 2] Get my sister Sandy and my little brother Ray Buy a big old wagon to haul us all away Live out in the country where the mountain's high I'm never gonna come back here 'till the day I die [Chorus] Oh, Baltimore, ain't it hard just to live? Oh, Baltimore, ain't it hard just to live? Just to live [Outro] But best believe We're gonna make it somehow Hard living in the city
