Hangin' on the streets of Easty   Watchin' the cars as they pass me by   Well, the neighborhood's so alive   There ain't no doubt in my mind   That it's this here place and time   The only place I wanna be      It's the streets, it's the youth of America   It's my time, it's my place in America   Why you hanging them up just to tear them back down?   50 stars and thirteen stripes   No longer wave in October nights   Lady liberty, you're still the one for me      Kickin' one back in Easty   Watching as all my problems pass me by   Well, I'm doing just fine      You were there when the outlook was good   But the problems mounted up   And you broke like I knew you would   Like I knew you would      It's the streets, it's the youth of America   It's my time, it's my place in America   Why you hanging them up just to tear them back down?   50 stars and thirteen stripes   No longer wave in October nights   Lady liberty, you're still the one for me
