Child Of The Streets

19 years-old, been on his own since he was 13
Every trick in the book, there's not one that he hasn't tried
Growing up with his friends in a world that's so hard to escapefrom
You know that some of them are living, some of them in jail, somehave died
Another cold, hungry morning in a third floor, three roomapartment
Where everything in it's paid by the state, but there's neverenough
While down on the street, wind blows the trash 'cross thepavement
And I'm going down to *CNA*, try to connect with some stuff
Child of the Streets
Child of the Streets
You better watch what you do when you meet
Child of the Streets
Well I go on down to the corner, run into Eddie and old Johnson
And we get back in the alley, get out of the wind for a smoke
While down on the street, there's a cat driving a whitelimousine
And he's trying to tell me (he's trying to tell me), he's tryingto tell me (tell me) that it's all a joke
But I don't believe a word he says
Hey look, a rich man, a rich man, lock up your doors and yourwindows
And you better watch who your daughter's talking to on her way toschool (yeah)
You know you've got so much, brother, I ain't got nothing
So have a good time sitting by your swimming pool
Oh, Child of the Streets
Child of the Streets
Oh, you better watch what you do when you meet
Child of the Streets
Oh, Child of the Streets
Hey, Hey, Child of the Streets
You better watch what you do when you meet
Child of the Streets
Come on, Child of the Streets
Ooh, Child of the Streets
You better watch what you do when you meet
Child of the Streets
etc.
