For god's sake
You're just like a brother
For god's sake
Not like any other
For god's sake
You're not just another man

For god's sake
There's no way of knowing
For god's sake
There's no way of showing
For god's sake
It's not just another crime

Down in the Streets it's just dirty and mean
Down in the Streets we're just living in fear
Down in the Streets we're gonna burn and fry

'CAUSE WE'RE LIVING IN MEAN STREETS
MEAN STREETS
WE'RE LIVING IN MEAN STREETS
MEAN STREETS

For god's sake
We can't keep a going
For god's sake
We reap what we are sowing
For god's sake
It's not just another time

For god's sake
Another dead brother
For god's sake
They're all motherfuckers
For god's sake
There's no way to heal the blind

Down in the streets it's just dirty and mean
Down in the streets we're just living in fear
Down in the streets we're gonna burn and fry

'CAUSE WE'RE LIVING IN MEAN STREETS
MEAN STREETS
WE'RE LIVING IN MEAN STREETS
MEAN STREETS

Down in the streets
Dirty and mean
Down in the streets
Living in fear
Down in the streets
We're gonna burn and fry
Down in the streets
We're gonna take you high
