Back on the Streets |
| I had to compete |
| In the concrete, in the jungle |
| Had to kick and scratch |
| Stab some backs, in the jungle |
| At first I had a honest dream |
| Then the dike broke through |
| The scheme I had so gently planned |
| Soon that fell through |
| Now I’m back, back (back, back, back on the streets again) |
| I’m back, (back, back, back on the street again) |
| It’s a gold plated world |
| When you ain’t got a dime for a phone call, in the jungle |
| Makes me feel so bad |
| To be standin' in the welfare line |
| My so called friends of yesterday |
| They don’t even know my name |
| If I get a second chance |
| I do believe I’ll feel the same |
| I’m back, back (back, back, back on the streets again) |
| I’m back, (back, back, back on the street again) |
| Well I’ll sing a song |
| And then keep control of my action, in the jungle |
| Living in them streets |
| Makes a man turn death away |
| Life right now is just a dirty word |
| There’s no place for me to go |
| The look I wear up on my face |
| Let’s everybody know that |
| I’m back, back (back, back, back on the streets again) |
| I’m back, (back, back, back on the street again) |
| I’m back, (back, back, back on the street again) |
| I’m back, back, back, back (back, back, back on the streets again) |
| Makes me feel so bad |
| To be back on the streets again |
| Fell asleep in the park last night |
| Sunday paper feel uptight |
| Hope the lord now give to me |
| What’s before me imitate |
| Ridin' on this big machine |
| Back on the streets again |
