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
