hey mister listen wont you spare me some time
im hungry my bodys freezin cold
hated and wasted
im young but i am old
my dirty face is etched with lines

gamblin with all that you got
puttin your life on the line to be shot
life is hard it made me tuff
livin on the street
ive got to rise above
livin on the street
now ive had enough

pity the old with nothing in their eyes
staring at the wrong end of a gun
envy the young who dont have time to die
their time to rule the earth has come

gamblin with all that you got
puttin your life on the line to be shot
life is hard it made me tuff
livin on the street
ive got to rise above
livin on the street
life is hard it made me tuff
livin on the street
livin on the street
