Lucky Dube - Is This the Way lyrics

Is this the way

You want it to be

Is this the way

It' s gonna be (x2)

Oh my God Oh my God

What we gonna do

In this world

In this world we live in (x2)

I see these men

Everyday at the corner

Of Queens and Commissioner

Begging for a dollar everyday

Begging for a dime everyday

Trying to make a living

Out there

But it' s so hard (x2)

Chorus: (x2)

Begging for a dollar

Begging for a dime

One of them

Swallowed his pride

His broken pride

And came to me he said

I quit, I give up

Life is a game

What are the rules

What did I do to deserve this

Begging for a dollar everyday

Begging for a dime everyday

Trying to make a living

Out there

Chorus: til fade

Begging for a dollar

Begging for a dime

Oh-oh-oh

Begging for a dollar/dime
