So they caught you with the smokin' gun I know you never meant to hurt no one It's just sometimes... life can come undone And baby that's when they bury you young
A casual fool in an uptight world
You're feeling hunted...hungry in the shadows But sister all of that anger Won't get you back your freedom
Now you're waiting for some new messiah To rise up from these dirty streets The answers don't come easy but Baby life's never been kind
On a dead end street We're left to live here or die on our own On a dead end street You gotta fight to survive When you're down On a dead end street On a dead end street
Said you were never given much of a life But why take yourself down harder? Faith can heal what fate can undo You gotta believe in you
We may never find our new messiah To rise up from these dirty streets And we may never know the answers But halt that's the life we've known
On a dead end street We're left to live here or die on our own On a dead end street You gotta fight to survive When you're down On a dead end street
When the streets get cold and hard And the truth is even harder Remember baby you're not so alone
On a dead end street We're left to live here or die on our own On a dead end street You've got to fight to survive When you're down On a dead end street
