Lyrics

Bilingual
When you live on the streets you get the itch to kill
For when the law's by your side it's just dragging you to jail
You can loath the concrete, you can pop another pill
You can work your whole life, or you can live it in a cell
The junkies in the alleys are withdrawing again
Mothers, and fathers can't afford to pay rent
Minimum wage ain't enough to live
Drug deals keep the roof above our heads
What are you gonna do when you get hurt?
Without health insurance you'll be out of work
McDonald's doesn't hire convicted criminals
The streets are as fair as they are edible
Seven days a week working a nine to nine
And you're still surviving off nickels & dimes
Cutting corners with every necessity you buy
Hoping someday your family will thrive
Grandmas chronic pain requires painkillers
Without a prescription you purchased from drug dealers
Now the war on drugs has you serving time
Now your record is stained from a petty crime
When you live on the streets you get the itch to kill
For when the law's by your side it's just dragging you to jail
You can loath the concrete, you can pop another pill
You can work your whole life, or you can live it in a cell
