the people on my street
know to keep their heads down
when blue lights roll by
the violence of the heat is swift to come down
and no one knows why
will they remember all these things I said,
or will it blow away ?
like the sand on the graves I read, of children turned to clay
Yeah people on my street
know a good thing when they see it
cause it down come along too much
they follow with their feet, yeah they got to believe it
cause hope doesn't cost that much
will they remember all these games they played
on playgrounds turned to rust?
when the plans that they all mislaid bring them to the crush
of a thought that was once fertile soil for the kings of men
laying dark now in their coffins bare in their sepulcher den
people on my street, yeah people on my street
the people on my street, yeah people on my street
the people on my street got no pillow to lay on
cause the ground is cold and hard
got ulcers on their feet, and a bible to pray on
but the pages are yellow and torn
will they remember when you call on them to lend a helping hand?
drowning in silence that we all do fear will suck us up at last
the people on my street, the people on my street
the people on my street, yeah people on my street
the people on my street

I spent all my time on my back with a cigarette
dangling from the edge of my lips
here you come again swinging those hips of yours
boom boom boom boom boom boom
and you told me not to want it, yeah you told me not to need it, oh I said that I could leave it, but I guess that I lied
Here come Johnny Law reading that book again
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
He so full of rules, he gonna trip again
Ooooo oooo ooo oooo ooo ooo ooo
And you told me not to want it, yeah you told me not to need it, oh I said that I could leave it, but I can't at all
And you told me not to want it, yeah you told me not to need it, oh I said that I could leave it, but I guess that I lied
