The Street Giveth And The Street Taketh Away

(album: Hot In The Shade - 1989)

Look out

Hey man
Gotta take a stand
So you think that you've been had
Well, I'm here to bet ya
Street's gonna get ya
Well two out of three ain't bad

Hey man
It's getting out of hand
Cross your heart and hope to die

You got yours
And I got mine
I'm gonna get what's coming to ya

'Cause the street giveth and the street taketh away
Where there's no blind justice, no way, no way
That's right

Yo listen

Hey man
Don't you understand
You can run but you can't hide
There ain't no life after death
So save your breath
You're gonna be a rock 'n roll suicide

Hey man
Do you need a hand
But I ain't no blessing in disguise

Feel the agony
And the ecstasy
It's gonna burn right through ya

'Cause the street giveth and the street taketh away
Where there's no blind justice, no way, no way, no way

Life's too short, so help yourself, 'cause I don't walk on water

'Cause the street giveth and the street taketh away
Where there's no blind justice, no way
Well, the street giveth and the street taketh away
Well, the street giveth and the street taketh away
Well, the street giveth and the street taketh away
So watch out man
Well, the street giveth and the street taketh away
Well, the street giveth and the street taketh away
Well, the street giveth and the street taketh away
