People I Live With

Kicking around downtown

See the people in the passing windows

And their hungry, tired faces betray

They wish they had somewhere better to go

You know I'm no different

With my hand deep in my pockets

Thinking "it don't really matter where I end up tonight"

[Chorus:]

Because it's kind of hard to be a saint in the city

Even though this ain't no city that I live in

This pavement's worn from the circles that I walk in

It just feels the same

It feels like nothing's changed

Going from town to town

Or from house to house

You know I just can't seem to get it right

And I just don't want to see you tonight

'Cause it's all the same buildings

And it's all the same dirty streets

Our little version of America

Don't really mean shit to me

Sometimes I feel more than the city can hold

[Chorus]

I can't live with the people I live with

I can't work with the people I work with

Some people say I just got an attitude

Some people say I'm just hard to deal with

I just try to survive

Done some things that I'm not too proud of

You know you never want to hurt the people you love

Sometimes you've gotta look them in the eye and apologize
