It's a hard rain in the ghetto
Blues are gonna take their toll
It's a hard rain in the ghetto baby
Blues are gonna take their toll
And this city's full of heartache
Remedy no man knows
Yeah you're livin' by the people baby
No time bein' on your own
Yeah livin' by the people baby
No time bein' on your own
It's a hard rain in the ghetto baby
Hard rain's where you're comin' from, yeah
You may be lyin' in the gutter
A man look down his nose on you
You may be lyin' in the gutter
A man look down his nose on you
It's a hard rain in the ghetto baby
What else can you s'posed to do
It's a hard rain in the ghetto
Blues are gonna take their toll, yeah
It's a hard rain in the ghetto baby
Blues are gonna take their toll
And this city's full of heartache
Remedy no man knows
Oh tell me brother, yeah
