Cops and junkies hurl their sophistries   And hail cacophony   Try not hard to shake this off of me   Howl you fools, it's all for naught      But on 16th street we wait for holiness   Vaccinate ourselves from loneliness   Masquerade through homes of homelessness   And oh, I hope we'll not get over this      Here the now is now upon us   Everyone must share this on us   Ancients have no more to loan us   All our debts unpaid       On 16th street we rise in numbers   Once a name now just a number   Scream for all the unsaid, unheard prisoners on parade   Sweet Dolores, mi mamasita   Seems each day I still re-meet you   Disculpame mi pobrecita   Guess I left things incomplete      But all this noise will soon be over   So let's drink until you're halfway sober   Red rover's already over   But the last thing that we need is closure      Now it's time for us to swallow all this loss until tomorrow   Pay back all the time we've borrowed   Anger well displayed      On 16th street we fall in numbers   No one questions, no one wonders   Scream for all the unsaid, unheard hoodlums on parade
