The girl in the park lays deadly 
still she's up on the top the top of
 the hill
          C                        
She's got all of the things you 
read about and all of the things you
               G
 have to live without... Hey
G
At the end of the block there's a 
family of four they got food on the 
table and little more
    C                              
And everyday they work and save 
                      G
just to keep the hunger away... Hey

G
Kids on the block in the summer heat
 they got little to do and less to 
eat
         C                         
And they watch the water running by
 and at night they lay in bed and 
                  G
they just want to cry... Hey
G
In a black car under a skyscraper 
sits a big man he's a money maker
         C                      
He's got all the things you ever 
wanted and none of the things you 
                G
ever taught to me... Hey
