Humble Streets |
| No, this is not what we wanted |
| Yes, this is all that we’ve got |
| Listen to the streets in this town |
| And you’ll hear a plea for dignity in a life without |
| It’s near midnight on Saturday Night |
| These sad clowns will chatter till Sunday morning light |
| We’re common. |
| We’re desperate. |
| We’ll do this our own way |
| We grew up strong in these humble streets |
| We worked all week and we’re drinking tonight |
| There’s no end in sight in these humble streets |
| Methamphetamine still rampant |
| Churches and bars are full but the library is vacant |
| Baby faced veterans and factory men |
| Singing the same jukebox songs with bottles stuck to their lips |
| So many children raised on welfare and T. V |
| It’s easy to see how the circle remains unbroken |
| And I am one of the lucky ones… |
| We’re common. |
| We’re desperate |
| We’ll do this our own way |
| We grew up proud in these humble streets |
| We can work every day. |
| Watch T.V. every night |
| There’s no end in sight in these humble streets |
| But I’m just singing my cheap white boy blues |
| When I get back home I’ll be drinking right next to you |
| We’re Common. |
| We’re Desperate |
| I’ll do this my own way |
| Wherever I may roam this is where I remain |
| And I belong to these humble streets |
