For god's sake 
You're just like a brother 
For god's sake 
Not like any other 
For god's sake 
You're not just another man 

For god's sake 
There's no way of knowing 
For god's sake 
There's no way of showing 
For god's sake 
It's not just another crime 

Down in the Streets it's just dirty and mean 
Down in the Streets we're just living in fear 
Down in the Streets we're gonna burn and fry 

'CAUSE WE'RE LIVING IN MEAN STREETS 
MEAN STREETS 
WE'RE LIVING IN MEAN STREETS 
MEAN STREETS 

For god's sake 
We can't keep a going 
For god's sake 
We reap what we are sowing 
For god's sake 
It's not just another time 

For god's sake 
Another dead brother 
For god's sake 
They're all [bad word] 
For god's sake 
There's no way to heal the blind 

Down in the streets it's just dirty and mean 
Down in the streets we're just living in fear 
Down in the streets we're gonna burn and fry 

'CAUSE WE'RE LIVING IN MEAN STREETS 
MEAN STREETS 
WE'RE LIVING IN MEAN STREETS 
MEAN STREETS 

Down in the streets 
Dirty and mean 
Down in the streets 
Living in fear 
Down in the streets 
We're gonna burn and fry 
Down in the streets 
We're gonna take you high
