You look real sharp
Things are sweet
And you got what you want
When things were good
Times have changed
The wheels have turned
And if you come down
You'll feel the heat

Now the kids are on the street
The kids are on the street
On the street

You're makin' money
You never learn
To provide for your next of kin
You get your kicks
Call it politics
But if you come down
You'll feel the heat

'Cause the kids are on the street
The kids are on the street

You say it's a new age
You don't play fair
Fill me with promises
You don't care
Is it our future?
Or is it your past?
You'll know in the long run
When the die is cast
And the die is cast

When the kids are on the street
The kids are on the street

(The kids are on the street)
I'm not gonna wait anymore
(The kids are on the street)
I'm not gonna wait

(The kids are on the street)
They're watchin' you
Watchin' you, watchin' you
(The kids are on the street)
Watchin' you, watchin' you
The kids
(The kids are on the street)
(The kids are on the street)
On the street
(The kids are on the street)
