Jeff Black - Street lyrics

rate me

Street

out on the street tonight

there's a million lonely people

and nobody knows why they just can't find a friend

or maybe a lover or just someone to talk to

everybody's running hey now, something's got to give

in my life

I've never seen so many

people work so hard to be loved

the pressure's on

who can beat the champion

who can beat the system

who can play their fucking game

while the unfortunate one

cries out on the street tonight

kicking at the trash cans hey now

cussing at the rain

in my life

I've never seen so many

people work so hard to survive

I don't understand

where my balance was sure

I could reach out my hand

and bring you so much more

more than this half-hearted faith

more than a witness tonight

maybe next time around

I'll get it right

a purple sky

a yellow field

a deep green ocean

a pretty red rose makes its way

for what it's worth

and down on the street tonight

I got your picture in my pocket

as I listen to the rumbling of us

living here on earth

in my life

I've never seen so many

people work so hard

to believe

to survive

to be loved

to stay alive
