Meanstreet
|
|
At night I walk this stinkin' street
|
Past the crazies on my block
|
And I see the same old faces
|
And I hear that same old talk
|
And I'm searching for the latest thing
|
A break in this routine
|
I'm talkin' some new kicks
|
Ones like you ain't never seen
|
This is home
|
This is Meanstreet
|
It's our home
|
The only one I know
|
And we don't worry 'bout tomorrow
|
Cause we're sick of these four walls
|
Now what'd ya think is nothing
|
Might be something after all
|
Now you know this ain't no through street
|
The end is dead ahead
|
The poor folks play for keeps down here
|
They're the living dead
|
Come on down
|
Down to Meanstreet
|
They're dancing now
|
Out on Meanstreet
|
It's always here and now, my friend
|
It ain't once upon a time
|
It's all over but the shouting
|
I'll come and I'll take what's mine
|
We're searching for the latest thing
|
A break in this routine
|
Talkin' some new kicks
|
Ones like you ain't never seen
|
This is home
|
This is Meanstreet
|
It's our home
|
Only one I know
|
(This is home) See, a gun is real easy
|
(This is Meanstreet) In this desperate part of town
|
(This is home) Turns you from hunted into hunter
|
(This is Meanstreet) Go and hunt somebody down
|
(This is home) But hear me now, somebody said "Fair Warning, Lord !"
|
(This is Meanstreet) Lord, strike that poor boy down
|
