This street honey is a mean street
    Living in this street honey needs a mean streak
    We've got criminals living in this street
    But there's a heart beat pulse
    That keeps on pumping
    Like a juke box playing the same dead record
    Or a radio in the corner keeps blaring
    I got a feeling this world is using me
This town honey is a dead town
    Living in this town honey is a let down
    Coming to this town honey is a show down
    But there's a heart beat pulse
    That keeps on pumping some sunshine ray
    Through a crack in the shutter
    Or a sight of a light at the end of a tunnel
    Still there's a feeling this world is using me
Action this day action this night
    Oh we've gotta learn to love to live
    You can't say it ain't right
    Action this day action this night
    Oh you've got the power you've got the power
    You've got the power to love to live
    You can't say it ain't right
Your mind honey is a bleak place
    Living in your minds living in a blank space
    Your mind is coming from a rat race
    But there's a heart beat pulse
    That keeps on pumping
    Like a juke box playing the same dead record
    Or a radio in the corner keeps blaring
    I got a feeling that just won't quit
    This world is using me
Action this day action this night
    Oh we've gotta learn to love to live
    We can't say it ain't right
    Action this day action this night
    Oh you've got the power you've got the power
    You've got the power to love to live
    You can't say it ain't right
Action action this day
    Action this day
    Action action this day
    Action this day
    Living in the street...
    Action... 
They called him a hero
    In the land of the free
    But he wouldn’t shake my hand boy
    He disappointed me
    So I got my hand gun
    And I blew him away
    That critter was a bad guy
    And I had to make him pay
You might fear for my reason
    I don’t care what they say
    Look out baby it’s the season
    For the mad masquerade
    Put out the fire put out the fire put out the fire
    Oh you need a bullet like a hole in the head
    Put out the fire put out the fire put out the fire
    Don’t believe what your grand-daddy said
She was my lover
    It was a shame that she died
    But the constitution’s right on my side
    ’cause I caught my lover in the neighbours bed
    I got retribution
    Filled ’em all full of lead
I’ve been told it’s the fashion
    To let me on the streets again
    It’s nothing but a crime of passion
    And I’m not to blame
    Put out the fire put out the fire put out the fire
    You need a weapon like a hole in the head
    Put out the fire put out the fire baby put out the fire
    And let your sons and daughters sleep sound in their beds
You know a gun never killed nobody
    You can ask anyone
    People get shot by people
    People with guns
    Put out the fire put out the fire put out the fire
    You need a gun like a hole in the head
    Put out the fire put out the fire put out the fire
    Just tell me that old fashioned gun law is dead
Shoot shoot..
Guilt stains on my pillow
    Blood on ny terraces
    Torsos in my closet
    Shadows from my past live is real
    Life is real, life is real, so real
    Sleeping is my leisure
    Waking up in a minefield
    Dream is just a pleasure dome
    Love is a roulette wheel - life is real
    Life is real, life is real, oh yeah
    Success is my breathing space
    I brought it on myself
    I will price it
    I will cash it
    I can take it or leave it
    Loneliness is my hiding place
    Breastfeeding myself
    What more can I say
    I have swallowed the bitter pill
    I can taste it, I can taste it
    Life is real, life is real, life is real
    Music will be my mistres
    Loving like a whore
    Lennon is a genius
    Living in every pore
    Life is real, life is real, life is real, so real
    Life is cruel
    Life is a bitch
    Life is real - so real

Ooh yeah yeah yeah yeah!
    You're taking all the sunshine away
    Making out like you're the main line (I knew that)
    'Cause you're a cool cat
    Tapping on the toe with a new hat
    Ooh just cruising
    Driving along like the swing king
    Feeling the beat of my heart huh!
    Feeling the beat of my heart
Ooh you're a cool cat
    Coming on strong with all the chit chat
    Ooh you're alright
    Hanging out and stealing all the limelight
    Ooh messing with the beat of my heart yeah!
Ooh you used to be a mean kid
    Ooh making such a deal of life
    Ooh you were wishing and hoping and waiting
    To really hit the big time
    But did it happen? happen no!
    You're speeding to fast slow down
    Slow down you'd better slow down slow down
You really know how to set the mood
    And you really get inside the groove
    Cool cat tapping on the toe with a new hat
    Ooh just cruising
    Driving along like the swing king
    Feeling the beat of my heart
    Feeling the beat of my heart yeah!
    Feeling the beat of my heart
    Can you feel it?
    Feeling the beat of my heart
    Feeling the beat of my heart
    Ooh feeling feeling feeling
    Feeling ev'ry feeling 
Pressure pushing down on me
    Pressing down on you no man ask for
    Under pressure - that burns a building down
    Splits a family in two
    Puts people on streets
    that's o.k.
    It's the terror of knowing
    What the world is about
    Watching some good friends
    Screaming 'Let me out'
    Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
    Pressure on people - people on streets
    O.k.
    Chippin' around
    Kick my brains around the floor
    These are the days it never rains but it pours
    People on streets
    People on streets
    It's the terror of knowing
    What this world is about
    Watching some good friends
    Screaming 'Let me out'
    Pray tomorrow - gets me higher high high
    Pressure on people - people on streets
    Turned away from it all like a blind man
    Sat on a fence but it don't work
    Keep coming up with love
    but it's so slashed and torn
    Why - why - why ?
    Love love love love love
    Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
    Can't we give ourselves one more chance
    Why can't we give love that one more chance
    Why can't we give love give love give love give love
    give love give love give love give love give love
    'Cause love's such an old fashioned word
    And love dares you to care for
    The people on the edge of the night
    And loves dares you to change our way of
    Caring about ourselves
    This is our last dance
    This is our last dance
    This is ourselves
    Under pressure
    Under pressure
    Pressure
