Down on the streets I can hear the cars crash I can hear the cool cats yelling Hey yo look at me Down on the streets I can hear the cars crash I can hear the cool cats yelling Hey yo look at me It's a wonderful city Even on its knees Put on your jack boots baby I'll show you what I mean It's a wonderful city Even on its knees Put on your jack boots baby I'll show you what I mean These are the streets to paradise This is the street of shame This is the street that goes nowhere fast This is a street without a name Down on the streets I can hear the blood boil I can hear the blood boil Down on the streets Down on the streets I can hear the blood boil I can hear the blood boil Down on the streets I hear the voices Half a million voices They're angry voices And one of them sounds like me I hear the voices Half a million voices They're angry voices And one of them sounds like me c'mon These are the zones outside all zones So be uncivilized and swift You got to learn to protect yourself You're all you've got Consider it a gift Down on the streets I can feel the mood swing I can feel the mood swing I feel the beat Down on the streets I can feel the mood swing I can feel the mood swing I feel the beat Sing it boys Down on the streets I can feel the mood swing I can feel the mood swing I feel the beat Down on the streets I can feel the mood swing I can feel the mood swing I feel the beat Alright Down on the streets I can hear the cars crash
