Mean Streets (Hillman/Foxworthy)


Broken white line no rule of thumb
Smoking headlines can make you turn numb
Gotta get tough on mean streets
People are rough downtown gotta get tough on mean streets
There's never enough to go around
Someone's running scared
Saw him with a gun
Man at the pawn shop never had such fun
Gotta get tough on mean streets
People are rough downtown
Gotta get tough on mean streets
There's never enough to go around
Lose a beat nowhere to sleep
I lost her in the heart of the city
Losing streak flat on my feet
Things just ain't looking so pretty

Neon signs drink up the night
Courage is fading no one wants to fight
Gotta get tough on mean streets
People are rough downtown gotta get tough on mean streets
There's never enough to go around
