Lyrics
Lonely in a Crowd C Em Am Am/G F C G
Frederick king of the rhetoric was standing on the bridge
I guess he just had no more to give
Mary quite contrary baby in your arms
Two more in the yard but your alone
I remember how sad we were at his passing
He was always so full of passion
I guess he didn't know how to live
(Chorus)
And it's hard living in this world
Lonely in a crowd
And its hard what are you gonna do
with your life now
Plastic cats and over friendly dogs
The people i know are all in a fog
Clowns in suits with money to boot
Who can’t give a hoot
Some spastic jabber jawed idiot
who always thinks he's with it
Hey man why don't you get a clue
People walk by and stare in the air
They won't look you in the eye
'Cause they just don't care
‘Cause they’d rather be alone than be with you
(Chorus)
And it's hard living in this world
Lonely in a crowd
And its hard what are you gonna do
with your life now
She was pregnant at 17
when they were both young and green
and her father kicked her out on the street
Now Mary waits table twice a week
Just trying to make ends meet
and sometimes freddy works on the docks
But yesterdays paper is yesterdays news
it's sitting on the coffee table in full view
I read the article over and over again
(Repeat Chorus out)
And it's hard living in this world
Lonely in a crowd
And its hard what are you gonna do
with your life now
