Let me take you by the hand
Back to the streets of New York City
The Lower East Side roared- [bad word] yeah!
It was our home back in '84

Warning! Warning!
Trouble on the back streets
Warning! Warning!
Terrorizing

Right here is where Lee Marie sobbed
She sold herself for [bad word] 
She slit her wrist, she died young
casualty back in '84

Warning! Warning!
Trouble on the back streets
Warning! Warning!
Terrorizing

Let me tell you how it was
In these streets of New York City
It wasn't safe at all- [bad word] no!
It was a ghetto back in '84

Warning! Warning!
Trouble on the back streets
Warning! Warning!
Terrorizing
