Baltimore

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
 'Cause there ain't nothin' here for free
 Hooker on the corner
 Waiting on the train
 Drunk lying on the sidewalk
 Sleeping in the rain
 And the people hide their faces
 As they hide their eyes, they hide their eyes
 'Cause the city's dyin'
 And they don't know why
 Said they don't know why, hey
 Oh, Baltimore, ain't it hard just to live? Ooh-ooh, yeah
 Oh, Baltimore, ain't it hard just to live?
 Just to live
 ♪
 Get my sister Sandy
 and my little brother Ray
 Buy a big old wagon
 To haul us all away
 I live out in the country
 Where the mountain's high
 Never gonna come back here
 'Til the day I die, oh-ooh-ooh
 But, oh, Baltimore, ain't it hard just to live? Ooh-ooh, oh
 But, oh, Baltimore, ain't it hard just to live?
 Just to live
 Just to live
 No, it's hard to live in the city, hey, oh
 But we're gonna make it somehow, hey
 Just believe
 We're gonna make it somehow
 Hard living in the city, city, ooh-ooh
