Lyrics:

There is something in the city I can smell it in the air
Something very heavy and it's more than I can hear
Talking on the left of me and music on my right
I wonder if we ever gonna get it right

It's not really
Easy to share life when you have to
To share time when you want to
We've got to find a direction
We've got to find a direction
We've got to find a direction

Inner city people have the inner city blues
More than I could give and more than I could lose
Party on the left of me and fighting on my right
I wonder if we ever gonna really get it right

Politicians making things so wonderfully deranged
It almost looks like absolutely nothing's going to change
I wonder if they gonna let the people carry on
Pushing drugs in the neighbourhood and giving people guns

It's not really
Easy to share life when you have to
To share time when you want to
We've got to find a direction
We've got to find a direction
We've got to find a direction

People running here and people running there
Trying to find the answers of the questions to their prayer
Religion say they have all the answers of our lives
I wonder if we ever really gonna get it right

Inner city people have the inner city blues
More than I could give and more than I could lose
Party on the left of me and fighting on my right
I wonder if we really gonna really get it right

It's not really
Easy to share time when you have to
To share life when you want to
We've got to find a direction
We've got to find a direction
We've got to find a direction

It's not really
Easy to share life when you have to
To share time when you want to
We've got to find a direction
We've got to find a direction
We've got to find a direction
