Life on the street ain't what it used to be Life on the run, look what it's done to me The city at night, has got nothing to say So if you come and see it get out of my way I'm living on the wrong side of town I'm living on the wrong side of town Street-Kid, beat-kid through and through I got more, 'cause I'm better than you You don't know the meaning of scared Until you've been thrashed, until you've been dared I'm living on the wrong side of town I'm staying on the wrong side of town, 'cause I like it Ain't no hope when you're all alone Stay there too long and you won't make it home The street's are mean and the nights are cold I warned you once, so now you've been told I'm living on the wrong side of town I'm skidding on the wrong side of town You'd better meet me on the wrong side of town Cause I..I'm living on the wrong side of town
