Teenage Summer Days

[Verse 1]
Down on Pico and Fedora
Back in 1993
All the cholos on the corner
Hid their pistols in the trees

[Verse 2]
El Funny Clown lived off of Sunset
On a street called Benton Way
There were blood satins on the sidewalk
But the rain washed them away

[Refrain]
On the mean streets of L.A.
All those teenage summer days
On the mean streets of L.A.

[Verse 3]
We took the bus way down to Venice
Went bodysurfing in the waves
Staring out at the horizon
On those teenage summer days

[Refrain]
On the mean streets of L.A.
On the mean streets of L.A.

[Verse 4]
My daddy was a trucker
Hauling freight 12 hours a day
Sometimes he’d take me down to Vernon
Or the shipyards in South Bay

[Refrain]
On the mean streets of L.A.
On those teenage summer days
On the mean streets of L.A.
