Mean Streets Lyrics

Panic in the streets
Watching more young lives going nowhere

Trusting those you meet
Is never easy
In this waking nightmare
(No mercy)

Desperation comes too soon
Getting hard to look
To my horizon
(So far now)

Looking out for those I knew
Knowing well the truth
Is that they're long gone
(So long ago)
We are the lost you deny
Faith cast aside
Sentenced to live with the lie
That no-one has the right to their life

Shot down
Shot down on the Mean Streets
Shot down
Shot down by the Mean Streets
Shot down
Shot down on the Mean Streets
Shot down
Shot down by the Mean Streets

Sirens echo out
All in vain too late for the weakest
(No mercy)
Another crime we all make the vow
But we all know there won't be any justice
(No more chances)

They are the lost we deny
Faith cast aside
Sentenced to live with the lie
That no-one has the right to their life

Shot down
Shot down on the Mean Streets
Shot down
Shot down by the Mean Streets
Shot down
Shot down on the Mean Streets
Shot down
Shot down by the Mean Streets

Denied the right to see the light
You'll take for granted it’s your right
Fight for the right to stay alive
Safely away from harm

Solo
We are the lost you deny
Faith cast aside
Sentenced to live with the lie
That no-one has the right to their life

Shot down
Shot down on the Mean Streets
Shot down
Shot down by the Mean Streets
Shot down
Shot down on the Mean Streets
Shot down
Shot down by the Mean Streets

On the Mean Streets
