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 latest thing    A break in this routine    I'm talkin' some new kicks    Ones like you ain't never seen    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    It's always here and now, my friend    It ain't once upon a time    It's all over but the shouting    I'll come and I'll take what's mine    We're searching for the latest thing    A break in this routine    Talkin' some new kicks    Ones like you ain't never seen    This is home    This is Mean street    It's our home    Only one I know    (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
