Doobie Brothers - World Gone Crazy Lyrics
Working real hard in the heart of the cityNoon day sun feeling hot and sweatyTrying to make my pay, trying to make my monthly rentWorking real hard for the US dollarLiving real poor gonna make me hollerI don't wanna live in the street like some folks do.I was raised up on the cornerIn front of a grocery storeShining shoes with the Daily NewsFor two pence on the floorGiven a chance I'd go back to the days of a simpler timeCause this old world's gone crazyAnd I'm about to lose my mindWorking real hard in the heart of the cityNoon day sun feeling hot and sweatyTrying to make my pay, trying to make my monthly rentWorking real hard for the US dollarLiving real poor gonna make me hollerI don't wanna live in the street like some folks do.My brother drives delivery right down on Dolphin StreetHas a little house by the railroad trackKinda small but it was neatThe police came and got him for robbing a liquor storeAnd even though he didn't do itThey got what they came forWorking real hard in the heart of the cityNoon day sun feeling hot and sweatyTrying to make my pay, trying to make my monthly rentWorking real hard for the US dollarLiving real poor gonna make me hollerI don't wanna live in the street like some folks do.It's a poor man but life is bitter sweetDoesn't wanna lose that good thing that he's gotBut the same old government that pays you every weekWill come and take your home away and put you in the streetWorking real hard in the heart of the cityNoon day sun feeling hot and sweatyTrying to make my pay, trying to make my monthly rentWorking real hard for the US dollarLiving real poor gonna make me hollerI don't wanna live in the street like some folks do.
