Crosby, Stills & Nash - Street to Lean On lyrics

Bag lady's complainin' To the cop on the beat She says she's got nowhere to go She got nothin' to eat Cop says, "Lady, have you considered A life of crime? You know you can eat real good When you're doin' time" And she has got no galleria She's got no mall All she's got is the street to lean on And the gutter when she falls, yeah Do you see them gang bangers? They gonna have a fight You know they gonna knock somebody's teeth out Maybe put out somebody's lights We're gonna have to bust 'em Put 'em all away in jail You know it's the nineteenth time this month Ain't gonna be no bail And they have got no galleria They got no mall All they got is the street to lean on And the gutter when they fall Fat lady with the wig on She's down here buyin' antiques She says "Can't you control these kids? They're actin' like a bunch of freaks" And the kids are givin' her the finger They re talkin 'bout takin' her purse And the street keeps gettin' hotter The traffic keeps gettin' worse And they have got no galleria They got no mall All they got is the street to lean on And the gutter when they fall, yeah Do you see that politician? Don't he look sincere You know he will promise you anything As long as he's down here But he's gonna go home to the valley To his house and lawn And we will still be here When he is gone And we have got no galleria We got no mall All we got is the street to lean on And the gutter when we fall, yeah We got is the street to lean on And the gutter
