Down my avenue
The sun don't shine on the street.
Down my avenue all the people walking drag their feet.
Down my avenue everyone you meet
Is full of gloom.
And the shade of their face
Is one of unpending doom.
Let me tell you know.
You don't know what it's like,
Unless you live here.
You don't know what it's like,
Unless you live here.
All I wanna do, is just to scream and shout into their ears.
Hey, people,
why do you think it's all right
to go and hurt me?
Down my avenue everyboy tells you how it is.
Things like he ran to her house and she snuck on back into his.
Down my avenue everybody 's got a story to tell.
But the fact of the matter is nobody knows it too well.
Let me tell you know.
You don't know what it's like,
Unless you live here.
You don't know what it's like,
Unless you live here.
All I wanna do is just to scream and shout into their ears
Hey, people,
Why do you think it's all right
To go and hurt me?
Why, Why?
Let me tell you know.
You don't know what it's like,
Unless you live here.
You don't know what it's like,
Unless you live here.
All I wanna do is just to scream and shout into their ears.
Hey, people,
Why do you think it's all right to go and…
why do you think it's all right?
why do you think it's all right?
why do you think it's all right?
To go and hurt me.
