Dead End Street

So they caught you with the smokin' gun

I know you never meant to hurt no one

It's just sometimes

Life can come undone

Uuh and baby that's when they bury you young

A casual fool in an uptight world

You're feeling hunted

Hungry in the shadows

But sister all of that anger

Won't get you back your freedom

Now you're waiting for some new messiah

To rise up from these dirty streets

The answers don't come easy but baby life's never been kind

(On a dead end street) We're left to live here or die on our own

(On a dead end street) You gotta fight to survive when you're down

On a dead end street, on a dead end street

Said you were never given much of a life

But why take yourself down harder?

Faith can heal what fate can undo

You gotta believe in you

We may never find our new messiah

To rise up from these dirty streets

And we may never know the answers

But halt that's the life we've known

(On a dead end street) We're left to live here or die on our own

(On a dead end street) You gotta fight to survive when you're down

(On a dead end street)

When the streets get cold and hard

And the truth is even harder

Remember baby you're not so alone

(On a dead end street) We're left to live here or die on our own

(On a dead end street) You've got to fight to survive when you're down

(On a dead end street) You've gotta joy here or die, uh you decide

(On a dead end street) It is not easier when you're hurt baby, when you're down
