Toughest Street in Town

[Verse 1]

Outside the window

The neon flashes in the mornin' light

Down on the sidewalk

There's a woman with a problem she don't know how to fight

[Pre-Chorus]

She's destitute and broken down

She softly whispers, "Is there no one around?"

And no one hears the sound

Her knees give way and hit the ground

[Chorus]

This is the toughest street in town

This is the toughest street around

This is the toughest street in town

This is the toughest

[Verse 2]

Like a rat in a pack

It attacks from the back

Through a crack

It can track and you're takin' smack

[Pre-Chorus]

And Jack has had a hard day

No one told him it would be like this

He's had to score the hard way

And there's that trick he'll always miss

[Chorus]

This is the toughest street in town

This is the toughest, it's tough stuff

This is the toughest street around

This is the toughest, don't you go down there

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

It's just another black spot

Where far too many people have died

It's just another graveyard

And there's not too many people left alive

[Chorus]

This is the toughest, are you tough enough?

This is the toughest, are you rough enough?

This is the toughest, can you bluff enough?

[Verse 3]

Just a minor misdemeanor

Didn't mean no harm

But it's there as a constant reminder

And it's there to warn

[Verse 4]

Outside the window the neon is still flashing

In the morning light

Down on the sidewalk, that woman was blown away

Outta sight

[Pre-Chorus]

All across the city

No one gives a damn

All across the city

No one seems to understand

[Chorus]

This is the toughest

This is the toughest street in town

This is the toughest street around

This is the toughest, are you rough enough?

This is the toughest, if I were you I wouldn't come around here

This is the toughest, this is the toughest street

This is the toughest, are you tough enough?

This is the toughest, don't you go down there

This is the toughest come here, Jack

This is the toughest (You wanna see some pictures?)

This is the toughest street in town

This is the toughest street around

This is the toughest and the beat goes down

This is the toughest, when the sun goes down

This is the toughest
