Beat up little seagull

On a marble stair

Tryin' to find the ocean

Lookin' everywhere

Hard times in the city

In a hard town by the sea

Ain't nowhere to run to

There ain't nothin' here for free

Hooker on the corner

Waitin' for a train

Drunk lyin' on the sidewalk

Sleepin' in the rain

And they hide their faces

And they hide their eyes

'Cause the city's dyin'

And they don't know why

Oh Baltimore

Man it's hard just to live

Oh, Baltimore

Man, it's hard just to life, just to live

Get my sister Sandy

And my little brother Ray

Buy a big old wagon

To haul us all away

Live out in the country

Where the mountain's high

Never comin' back here

'Til the day I die

Oh, Baltimore

Man, it's hard just to live

Oh, Baltimore

Man, it's hard just to live, just to live

It's really a shame about what's happening in Baltimore right now......the Oriole's haven't won a championship in over 4 decades, it's such a shame what's happening.

America as we knew it is dying, fools, and we blame the protesters? We need to save what matters us with concrete action, not empty promises of future reforms. Peaceful dissent, sincere dialogue, effective governance. A person who is raised knowing that every life has value and every future is possible would strive to protect the society that nurtures them, not wish to see it burn.

I heard Freddie Gray now supposedly had a spinal injury two weeks before his arrest. It doesn't make sense that police would put their jobs on the line and abuse a black man, at least in the midst of such high racial tension between black citizens and white officers. I know that many are inclined to demonize the "white man" but Baltimore is a very impoverished area, there's a huge amount of stress and duress that officers go through.R.I.P. Freddie Gray, but the two-to-three page rap sheet isn't helping.

Timeless song.Unfortunately still true today.Idiot Mayor Rawlings helped contribute to mayhem announcing 'protesters destructing,we will give you 'Space'.Really??Cops had to stand there and watch this chaos and do nothing.because of her idiotic order.Impeach her Baltimore!!!They even burned down the Elderly Center.

Let me thank all the assholes who felt it right to burn and destroy everything in sight. Thanks to you hundreds lost their jobs, livelihood and careers due to your fucking stupidity. As the police stood back and watched for safety reasons. To the evil pricks in Baltimore who felt it right to destroy Baltimore you will be arrested.
