"Mean Streets" lyrics - MCGUINN, CLARK & HILLMAN

Broken white line, no rule of thumb
Smoking headlines can make you turn numb
Gotta get tough on mean streets
People are rough downtown
Gotta get tough on mean streets
There's never enough to go around.

Someone's running 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
Losing streak, flat on my feet
Oh, things just ain't looking so pretty.

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.
