Street Life

You're a madman, we're all out there
Just some of us, we don't really care
People gettin' raped, people gettin' killed
Lying in the gutter of a dusty avenue

Go out one night, you end up getting laid
Go back to her house for sex, you just paid
Meet some friends, give you some junk
Take some of that, and you like this song

Play it easy, play it safe
Take every precaution that you like, just say it
Don't be so cool and don't be so tough
Just stay in the middle, don't pretend it's all rough

Police arrest you, prison molest you
I've seen him cry, say I wish I could die
Then you think back of when you got the sack
For touching some woman
And touching some smack

This is the future (this is the future)
This is today
I would make changes if they came my way
Look at the future (look at the future)
Look at the past
All of these countries fighting
It will always last

You wanna be someone? Well you're someone now
There's nothing in your future and I'll tell you how
You have to pay taxes, you have to work harder
Work in prison house, it's just our mother

You're unemployed, you get even worse
Don't walk the streets they could snatch your boss rights
Everywhere people don't care
You're a madman, and you're going nowhere

This is the future (this is the future)
This is today
I would make changes if they came my way
Look at the future (look at the future)
Look at the past
All of these countries fighting
It will always last

This is the future (this is the future)
This is today
I would make changes if they came my way
Look at the future (look at the future)
Look at the past
All of these countries fighting
It will always last

This is the future (this is the future)
This is today
I would make changes if they came my way
Look at the future (look at the future)
Look at the past
All of these countries fighting
It will always last
