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
