[Verse 1]
It was a cold December on 2nd Ave and 6th Street (and 6th Street)
Too cold to think about anybody passing me (Passing me!)
When I overheard "I'm gonna tell you straight from the shoulder (Shoulder)
Yeah boy, better get running"
[Verse 2]
On the corner of 2nd and 6th and out of time
With a cough, feeling lost and gettin' a bottle of cheap wine
Just then I realized that I can't seem to understand
When I saw that guy heading for the dopeman
[Chorus]
It's just the same old story, yeah, on the same old street
And it's just another worn down, yeah, worn out casualty
Of 2nd Ave and 6th Street
[Verse 3]
On the corner of 2nd and 6th and feeling down (Down)
When I overheard "I'm gonna take a gun and take you out" (Take you out!)
Just then I realized that I can't seem to understand (Understand!)
How anyone can take the life of another man, go!
[Chorus]
It's just the same old story, yeah, on the same old street
And it's just another worn down, yeah, worn out casualty
Of 2nd Ave, and 6th Street
