Did you ever just want to lay down
|
Tell the world you've had enough
|
Did you ever just want to drop out
|
When the goin' got a little bit rough
|
Have you ever walked the sidewalks hungry
|
Have you ever really had the blues
|
So now you want to see how the other half live
|
Well brother whatcha got to lose
|
|
Whatcha got to lose if you leave your home
|
And you never think of ever goin' back
|
Your father's makin' money for the good of the country
|
And your mama's out bettin' at the track
|
|
Camptown ladies sing them songs doo dah doo dah
|
|
And now you gonna to let hair grow long
|
Get a little pad uptown
|
Throw away your checkbook and all your credit cards
|
And use your wits to get around
|
And you think it's gonna make you happy
|
See your story in the evening news
|
And you know its just a game of tryin' to point the blame
|
Brother whatcha got to lose
|
|
Chorus:
|
Hey lonely Rockefeller Square
|
The underground world don't fit a millionaire
|
Hey Rocky whatcha gonna do
|
First time you've ever had the pressure on you
|
But Rock when the rockin' and the bummin' is through
|
There'll still be piece of daddy's kingdom for you
|
|
Now Rocky you sure hurt your mama
|
And your daddy got an ulcer for a year
|
With the stock market shot and the war's still hot
|
It sure was a cruel thing to do
|
|
So don't cry boy
|
|
Chorus:
|
Hey lonely Rockefeller Square
|
The underground life don't fit a millionaire
|
Hey Rocky whatcha gonna do
|
First time you've ever had the pressure on you
|
But Rock when the rockin' and the bummin' is through
|
There'll still be piece of daddy's kingdom for you
|
|
Money to pay, money today
|
Don't you go gay
|
Rocky better pray
|
|
Money today, money to pay
|
Don't you go gay
|
Rocky better pray
|
|
Money today, money to pay
|
Don't you go gay
|
Rocky better pray
|
|
Money today, money to pay
|
Don't you go gay...
