Mean Street

At night I walk this stinkin' street past the crazys on my block

And I see the same old faces and I hear that same old talk

And I'm searchin 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 Mean Street

This is home

The only one I know



And we don't worry bout tomorrow cause we're sick of these four walls

Now what you think is nothin might be somethin after all

Now you know this ain't no through street, end is dead ahead

Poor folks play for keeps down here, they're the living dead



Come on down

Down to Mean Street

They're dancin now

Out on Mean Street



Dance baby!



It's always here and now my friend, it ain't once upon a time

It's all over but the shouting, I come and take what's mine

I'm searchin 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 Mean Street

This is home

The only one I know



This is home

See, a gun is real easy

This is Mean Street

In this desperate part of town

This is home

Turns you from hunted into hunter

This is Mean Street

Go and hunt somebody down

This is home

Somebody said FAIR WARNING!

This is Mean Street

The Lord is going to strike that poor boy down
