Rough city

Livin' in this town for more than twenty seven years
Don't know where I'm bound, but I'll learn fo find my way
I've checked it out, I've seen it all, there 's ringin' in my ears
Don't know when I'll go, but I'll get out of here one day
Everybody around me
Do you hear me when I'm sayin'
Their life is a drag, it 's all looking sad to me
Everybody around me
Can you hear me when I 'm cryin'
They all look alike, they don't feel alive to me
What happened to the faithful man
What happened to the faithful man
What happened, what happened
Hey !
Rough city you drove him astray
Working like a dog as if it would be the solution
You don't make a dime, you sure don't find no harmony
Waiting all your time for what only an illusion
I'm changing my plans, I need nobody's company
