Children Of The Street
1
We were all young, all in our teens,
We wore black leathers and torn up jeans.
We walked the streets, thinkin' we were IT..
When all the time our heads were only full of shit.
We'd hang around corners drinkin' from cans,
with all the booze inside us we thought we were men.
Chorus:
we were the children of the street
we were the children of the street
we were'nt the kinda guys that you would like to meet.
We were the children of the street
I said way hey..get outa our way
We were the children of the street

We'd go into a bar to bust someones head
but most of the time we'd get bust up instead
We'd do the same thing every god damn night
Go and get steamed up and then go look for a fight
Now when i think back to those years
I can hear the street sounds in my ears
Chorus:
we were the children of the street
we were the children of the street
we were'nt the kinda guys that you would like to meet.
We were the children of the street
I said way hey..get outa our way
We were the children of the street

Oh once in a while there'd be a disco or two
But that was only when we had nothin' to do
A fight would break out just because of us.
And we'd end up getting pulled in by the fuzz
Now all those years of my mis spent youth, have given me an insight to the truth.
we were the children of the street
we were the children of the street
we were'nt the kinda guys that you would like to meet.
We were the children of the street
I said way hey..get outa our way
We were the children of the street

I'm older now, and a lot wiser too.
Now i'm never stuck for things to do.
I go to posh clubs that go on all night
where you gotta wear a tie, and ain't allowed to fight.
But now and then I think back to those years
and i can hear those street sounds in my ears
we were the children of the street
we were the children of the street
we were'nt the kinda guys that you would like to meet.
We were the children of the street
I said way hey..get outa our way
We were the children of the street
