Mean Street

And I see the same old faces

Ones like you ain't never seen
Yes ah home, only one I know
A break in this routine
(This is mean street)

(This is home)
Dance baby
A break in this routine
(This is home)
This is home, this is mean street
The end is dead ahead
It ain't once upon a time
Now you know this ain't no through street
Wait a minute, ah
Might be somethin' after all
(Huh ow)
They're dancin' now, out on mean street
You go an' hunt somebody down
I'm talkin' some new kicks
See, a gun is real easy
Somebody said "Fair warning, Lord"
And I hear that same old talk

The poor folks play for keeps down here
They're the livin' dead
Come on down, down to mean street
We're searchin' for the latest thing
Talkin' some new kicks

Ones like you ain't never seen
It's all over but the shoutin'
I come to take what's mine
Yes ah home, the only one I know
(This is mean street)
(Ooh)

Now what you think is nothin'
Turns you from hunted into hunter, yeah
It's always here and now my friend
(This is mean street)
In this desperate part of town
'Cause we're sick of these four walls
(This is home)
And I'm searchin' for the latest thing
An' we don't worry 'bout tomorrow
(This is home)

This is home, this is mean street
(This is)
(This is home)
(Look)
