Mean Street

At night I walk this stinkin' street
Past the crazies 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
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'd ya think is nothing
Might be something 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 dеad

Come on down
Down to Mean Street
They'rе dancing now
Out on Mean Street

It's always here and now, my friend
It ain't once upon a time
It's all over but the shouting
I'll come and I'll 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
This is Mean Street
It's our 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) But hear me now, somebody said "Fair Warning, Lord !"
(This is Mean Street) Lord, strike that poor boy down
