You look real sharp Things are sweet And you got what you want When things were good Times have changed The wheels have turned And if you come down You'll feel the heat Now the kids are on the street The kids are on the street On the street You're makin' money You never learn To provide for your next of kin You get your kicks Call it politics But if you come down You'll feel the heat 'Cause the kids are on the street The kids are on the street You say it's a new age You don't play fair Fill me with promises You don't care Is it our future? Or is it your past? You'll know in the long run When the die is cast And the die is cast When the kids are on the street The kids are on the street (The kids are on the street) I'm not gonna wait anymore (The kids are on the street) I'm not gonna wait (The kids are on the street) They're watchin' you Watchin' you, watchin' you (The kids are on the street) Watchin' you, watchin' you The kids (The kids are on the street) (The kids are on the street) On the street (The kids are on the street)
