Lyrics
Beat-up little seagull
On the maple stair
Trying to find the ocean
Looking everywhere
Hard times in the city
In a hard time by the sea
Ain't nowhere to run to
There ain't nothing here for free
Hooker on the corner
Waiting for a train
Drunk lion on the sidewalk
Sleeping in the rain
And they hide their faces
And they hide their eyes
'Cause the city is dying
And they don't know why
Oh, Baltimore
Man, it's hard
Just to live
Just to live
Get my sister Sandy
And my little brother, Ray
Buy a big old wagon
Gonna haul us all away
Living in the country
Where the mountain's high
Never coming back here
Until the day I die
Oh, Baltimore
Man, it's hard
Just to live
Oh, Baltimore
Man, it's hard
Just to live
Just to live
Oh, Baltimore
Man, it's hard
Man, it's hard
Just to live
Just to live
Just to live
Just to live
