(Jake Burns) |
|
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) |
