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
