Clover - Child of the Streets lyrics

19 years-old, been on his own since he was 13 Every trick in the book, there's not one that he hasn't tried Growing up with his friends in a world that's so hard to escape from You know that some of them are living, some of them in jail, some have died Another cold, hungry morning in a third floor, three room apartment Where everything in it's paid by the state, but there's never enough While down on the street, wind blows the trash 'cross the pavement And I'm going down to *CNA*, try to connect with some stuff Child of the Streets Child of the Streets You better watch what you do when you meet Child of the Streets Well I go on down to the corner, run into Eddie and old Johnson And we get back in the alley, get out of the wind for a smoke While down on the street, there's a cat driving a white limousine And he's trying to tell me (he's trying to tell me), he's trying to tell me (tell me) that it's all a joke But I don't believe a word he says Hey look, a rich man, a rich man, lock up your doors and your windows And you better watch who your daughter's talking to on her way to school (yeah) You know you've got so much, brother, I ain't got nothing So have a good time sitting by your swimming pool Oh, Child of the Streets Child of the Streets Oh, you better watch what you do when you meet Child of the Streets Oh, Child of the Streets Hey, Hey, Child of the Streets You better watch what you do when you meet Child of the Streets Come on, Child of the Streets Ooh, Child of the Streets You better watch what you do when you meet Child of the Streets etc.
