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 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

Well this is Mean Street

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 you think is nothin' might be somethin' 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 huh

Down to Mean Street

They're dancin' now Lord

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 I 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

Mmm this is Mean Street

It's our home

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 (yeah)

(This is Mean Street) You go an' hunt somebody down wait a minute ah

(This is home) Somebody said fair warning

Lord (This is Mean Street) Lord strike that poor boy down
