Clover - Child Of The Streets lyrics
rate me19 years-old, been on his own since he was 13<br />
Every trick in the book, there's not one that he hasn't tried<br />
Growing up with his friends in a world that's so hard to escape from<br />
You know that some of them are living, some of them in jail, some have died<br />
<br />
Another cold, hungry morning in a third floor, three room apartment<br />
Where everything in it's paid by the state, but there's never enough<br />
While down on the street, wind blows the trash 'cross the pavement<br />
And I'm going down to *CNA*, try to connect with some stuff<br />
<br />
Child of the Streets<br />
Child of the Streets<br />
You better watch what you do when you meet<br />
Child of the Streets<br />
<br />
Well I go on down to the corner, run into Eddie and old Johnson<br />
And we get back in the alley, get out of the wind for a smoke<br />
While down on the street, there's a cat driving a white limousine<br />
And he's trying to tell me (he's trying to tell me), he's trying to tell me (tell me) that it's all a joke<br />
<br />
But I don't believe a word he says<br />
<br />
Hey look, a rich man, a rich man, lock up your doors and your windows<br />
And you better watch who your daughter's talking to on her way to school (yeah)<br />
You know you've got so much, brother, I ain't got nothing<br />
So have a good time sitting by your swimming pool<br />
<br />
Oh, Child of the Streets<br />
Child of the Streets<br />
Oh, you better watch what you do when you meet<br />
Child of the Streets<br />
<br />
Oh, Child of the Streets<br />
Hey, Hey, Child of the Streets<br />
You better watch what you do when you meet<br />
Child of the Streets<br />
<br />
Come on, Child of the Streets<br />
Ooh, Child of the Streets<br />
You better watch what you do when you meet<br />
Child of the Streets<br />
<br />
etc.
