The Casualties - Lonely On The Streets - Jersey City lyrics

Woo ooh, we stand alone Woo ohh, it's lonely on the streets tonight I'll tell you about a place, where the poor write their songs I'll tell you about a place, rent is cheap but dangerous Like a stepping razor everyone is a threat Better have eyes in the back of your head The crew in Jersey City won't put down their guns The boys on Newark Avenue they will cut you down The punks in Jersey City ripped up boots dressed in black The boys are all downtown getting drunk and always tough Brought across the river, NYC kicked out the poor This is the new jungle the rich found out, it won't last long A haven for the artists low income and scum Our town is full of gangs and rats, the filthiest place I have been Drugs in the bodega stores, they deliver don't have to tip Eight year olds running in gangs, beating up people just for fun Robbing, murder just a fun day in my town Police are ex gang members, our mayor just gets drunk City officials go to jail, opportunities for everyone The crime is very high, but the rent is very cheap Junkies, k**ers, oh the city I live in Hey! They chase me from my hometown, I moved here to survive I'll be very lucky, if I get out alive
