Straight Life Songtext
von Eric Andersen

People in Suburbia
Are getting all that they deserve
People in the Harlem mess
Only seeing hopelessness
I don′t know what I can do
I can only do my best
I don't know what you can do
What we do is just a guess

Oh, the straight life is not the life I see
The straight life is not the life for me
Don′t wanna be in any foolish dreams
The straight life is not the life for me


How come politicians can
Talk any way they want to talk?
If I try to talk like them
There ain't a penny for my thoughts

Oh, the straight life is not the life I see
The straight life is not the life for me
Don't wanna be in any foolish dreams
Ooh, the straight life is not the life for me

Love is like the autumn winds
Winds that got no politicians
How can we make it on our own those
Windy nights we are alone?

Oh, the straight life is not the life I see
Ooh, the straight life is not the life for me
Don′t wanna be in any foolish dreams
Ooh, the straight life is not the life for me
