[00:28.29](Jake Burns)
[00:28.71]So you're living on a false reputation
[00:30.60]You're a big man in this town
[00:34.11]And it seems by your own estimation
[00:37.44]That you're a character of renown
[00:39.54]But it's all deceptive
[00:42.51]Your facade's defective
[00:45.51]Yet it's what's expected
[00:47.37]When you're really just the same as all of us
[00:49.65]Chorus You're living on
[00:52.32]Hope Street (Living on Hope Street)
[00:54.60]You're living on hunger and desire
[00:57.60]You're living on
[00:58.35]Hope Street (Living on Hope Street)
[01:01.65]And I hope that you never loose the fire
[01:02.40]Whole lives lived under the burden
[01:12.45]The strain of the buying age
[01:15.45]Believe me
[01:18.45]I know it for certain
[01:18.87]That you can break from the cage
[01:21.81]By holding your head high
[01:24.99]Get a little self pride
[01:27.18]Self respect on your side
[01:30.69]And you'll find that all the doors fly open wide (Chorus)
[01:38.31]And all the problems at your door
[01:39.33]Don't let them bother you no more
[01:40.17]Just take them all down one by one
[02:09.00]You'll find they fall apart
[02:11.58]If you face them with head and heart
[02:14.85]And what was hard doesn't seem so hard no more (Chorus twice)
