I’ll admit I’m just a mess
Angered, beat down, endless stress
Of a life I can’t control
From the things I won’t let go
Locked down, now I’m bustin’ loose
Run amok with no excuse
I’ve got a name to make
I’ll give less than I take
Run me through and take me under
Drop this shit that’s led to nowhere
Take me back to the streets!
To the city lights and skyline scenes
Take me back to the streets!
It holds my highs and beliefs
Held this dog down long enough
Dragged around by the scruff
Bred from hate, name unknown
Got no place to call my home
Blaspheme now and bite the hand
Pushing back on all demands
Clear the path my right of way
Purpose-led empowered stray
We’re a pedigree
A special breed
Once in a lifetime oddity
Purge ourselves of old medicine
Break free from inhibitions
Take me back to the streets!
(To the streets)
To the city lights and skyline scenes
Take me back to the streets!
(To the streets)
It holds my highs and beliefs
Take me back to the streets!
(To the streets)
Where vagabonds and nomads meet
Take me back to the streets!
(To the streets)
Gutter beds and alley suites
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
