Another silly one and yet...
another one I like.
As long as it tells a story...
paints a picture...
to me, that's what it's all about.
We can't all be able to write
the next
But stories... we can do!!
Street Kid
Streetwise savvy don't get to much
Unless your back's up against the wall
If you can see'em you can beat'em
You can take that chance
Ain't no way you're gonna take that fall
Well I've been runnin' these streets
Since way back when
And I can understand what they are
They're a home for some
To every lonely one
They're a maze of undesired scars
Well I'm a street kid
I got plenty to offer
Street kid
Come on I'll lie for you
Yeah I'm a street punk
Down the alleyway
Yeah I'm a street punk
Got nothin' better to do
Hangin' out on the corner
Underneath the streetlight
I can strike without warning
Then I slip outta sight
I wear the latest faded jeans
With a t-shirt and hat
I got a fistful of mean
Is gonna show you where it's at
'Cause I'm a street kid
I wasn't born this way
A street kid
I'm livin' too fast
Yeah I'm a street punk
I got something to say
Street punk
I wanna be the last
So will you help me
I'm a dying breed
Oh can you help me
I'm in some dyer need
I wanna change things
The way they should be
I wanna sprout wings
I gotta learn to be free
But I'm a street kid
I can't do it alone
A lonely street kid
Don't wanna lie no more
I'm still a street punk
I'm in the danger zone
A lousy street punk
Can you show me the door
Don't wanna be a street kid
Can't be no street kid
I'm sick of these jeans
I wanna know what living really means
