Mean Street

[Intro] 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
