Out On The Street

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When life gets up against you And you've got no time to think There are ones that can't comprehend So they slowly turn to drink Fall far beneath the breadlines To the point where they've got no home Abandoned by the ones they love And their bodies are reduced to skin and bone Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey [Verse 2] We're told to approach with caution But the thing I find demented No one's carried out a risk assessment So these things can be prevented In a world supposed to be for people Still only the rich get rich The working class work To avoid wet sleeping bags that itch [Chorus] I'm calling for solutions I guess a kind of revolution Replace the institution With something that can constitute Cuz while they're aging like a fine wine They're leaving us a fine line Between having clothes and food to eat And selling sex and drugs out on the street Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey [Verse 3] If it all falls down tomorrow Or you ever lost your job How long could you keep buying clothes Before eyeing them to rob? Oh it's easy to point blame and anger When you just can't seem to relate Don't you know that's the intention Of your government or state? [Chorus] I'm calling for solutions I guess a kind of revolution Replace the institution With something that can constitute Cuz while they're aging like a fine wine They're leaving us a fine line Between having clothes and food to eat And selling sex and drugs out on the street Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey [Outro] I've tried to grin and bear it But I feel i'm being kind I'm tired of beating round the bush So now I think it's time to speak my mind Speak my mind
