Lyrics:
Verse 1
I’m living by a river I can’t hardly see
There’s concrete all around me, hardly a tree
For those who can afford it life’s a breeze
All of life’sessentials, make you bleed
Verse 2
I said to my lady lets get a van
Let’s leave for the country and live off the land
People of our station can’t succeed
All of life’s essentials, make you bleed
Verse 3
I’m leaving in the morning, I don’t know where
I’m following the river to get some air
In the streets around me, signs of greed
All of life’s essentials, make you bleed
Verse 4
Sooner or later, you cross the law
Next thing you know is, they’re at your door
Living in the back streets, always in need
All of life’s essentials, make you bleed
