Down On The Avenue

(album: Feel It - 1976)

Down on the avenue
Nothin's ever new
Everyday people doing what they got to do

You'll find Mrs. Walker
Yelling for the kids to come on in
She's got to make the liquor store
To cop a tin that pint of gin
Oh yeah

Down on the avenue
Nothin's ever new (Nothin's ever new)
Everyday people doing what they got to do
Down on the avenue
Nothin's ever new (Nothin's ever new)
Everyday people doing what they got to do

On the first and fifteenth
You'll find 'em full of smiles
The state sends them happiness
It only lasts a while
Oh yeah

Down on the avenue (Yeah)
Nothin's ever new (Nothin's ever new)
Everyday people doing what they got to do
Down on the avenue
Nothin's ever new (Nothin's ever new)
Everyday people doing what they got to do

Dope heads on the corner
Playing checkers on a box
Smoking funky cigarettes
Woke up out of tops
Oh yeah

Got to check out the avenue
Got to check out, the avenue
Got to check out the avenue
Got to check out, the avenue
Got to check out the avenue
Got to check out, the avenue
Got to check out the avenue
Got to check out

Down on the avenue (Yeah)
Nothin's ever new (Nothin's ever new)
Everyday people doing what they got to do
Down on the avenue (Yeah)
Nothin's ever new (Nothin's ever new)
Everyday people doing what they got to do
Down on the avenue (Yeah)
Nothin's ever new (Nothin's ever new)
Everyday people doing what they got to do

Down on the avenue (Yeah)
Nothin's ever new (Nothin's ever new)
Everyday people doing what they got to do
Down on the avenue (Yeah)
Nothin's ever new (Nothin's ever new)
Everyday people doing what they got to do
Down on the avenue (Yeah)
Nothin's ever new (Nothin's ever new)
Everyday people doing what they got to do
Down on the avenue (Yeah)
Nothin's ever new (Nothin's ever new)
Everyday people doing what they got to do
