|
So you're living on a false reputation
|
You're a big man in this town
|
And it seems by your own estimation
|
That you're a character of renown
|
But it's all deceptive
|
Your facade's defective
|
Yet it's what's expected
|
When you're really just the same as all of us
|
|
Chorus
|
You're living on Hope Street
|
(Living on Hope Street)
|
You're living on hunger and desire
|
You're living on Hope Street
|
(Living on Hope Street)
|
And I hope that you never loose the fire
|
|
Whole lives lived under the burden
|
The strain of the buying age
|
Believe me I know it for certain
|
That you can break from the cage
|
By holding your head high
|
Get a little self pride
|
Self respect on your side
|
And you'll find that all the doors fly open wide
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
And all the problems at your door
|
Don't let them bother you no more
|
Just take them all down one by one
|
You'll find they fall apart
|
If you face them with head and heart
|
And what was hard doesn't seem so hard no more
|
|
(Chorus twice)
|
|
|
