Demon

Cry From The Street

Demon


Leathal weapon, blood shot eyes 
Another crackhead trying to make it to paradise 
Young white dude fingers his crucifix 
Smart dressed pimp snorts his designer fix 
Life here's for winners, death is for fools 
While tanned Al Pacinos orchestrate every move 
Down by the river the homeless retire 
To a night of near freezing 'round a half lit campfire 

Hey dude, you know this place is on fire 
Hey man, there's so much hate and desire 
Hey Ma, do you remember my name? 
Hey God, we're still bleeding 
It's a cry from the street 

Sirens wailing, there's a crowd on the strip 
Waiting for a jumper to take his last trip 
A travelling salesman from his hotel room buys a thrill 
A teenage schoolgirl's sugar daddy pays the bill 
A nervous driver pulls into the kerb 
Shots ring out, screams can be heard 
A bloodstained youth runs from the scene 
As tyres screetch down the backroads 
It's all a bad dream 

Hey dude, you know this place is on fire 
Hey man, there's so much hate and desire 
Hey Ma, do you remember my name? 
Hey God, we're still bleeding 
It's a cry from the street 

It's full of scum down here, why don't you disappear? 
Get off your ass and get a job you idle git 
Two four six eight, shut your mouth and give us break 
Two four six eight, who do we appreciate? 
United, united
