Broken white line No rule of thumb Smokin' headlines Can make you turn numb Gotta get tough on mean streets The people are rough downtown Gotta get tough on mean streets There's never enough to go around Someone's runnin' scared Saw him with a gun Man at the pawn shop Never had such fun Gotta get tough on mean streets People are rough downtown Gotta get tough on mean streets There's never enough to go around Lose a beat nowhere to sleep I lost her in the heart of the city Losin' streak flat on my feet Oh, things just ain't looking so pretty, oooh Neon signs Drink up the night Courage is fading No one wants to fight Gotta get tough on mean streets People are rough downtown Gotta get tough on mean streets There's never enough to go around Never enough to go around
