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
There ain't nothin' here for free
er on the corner
Waitin' for a train
And they hide their faces
And they hide their eyes
Cause the city's dyin'
And they don't know why
Man it's hard just to live
Man, it's hard just to life, just to live
And my little brother Ray
Buy a big old wagon
To haul us all away
Live out in the country
Where the mountain's high
Never comin' back here
'Til the day I die
Man, it's hard just to live
Man, it's hard just to live, just to live
