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 lastest thing A break in this routine I'm talkin' some new kicks Ones like you ain't never seen
Chorus:
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 dead
Come on down Down to Mean Street They're dancing now Out on Mean Street
Chorus.
(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
