Van Halen Mean Street Lyrics

At night I walk this stinkin' street past the crazies on my block
And I see the same old faces and I hear that same old talk
And I'm searching for the latest thing a break in this routine
I'm talkin' some new kicks
Ones like you ain't never seen

This is home
This is Mean Street
It's our home
The only one I know

And we don't worry 'bout tomorrow 'cause we're sick of these four walls
Now what ya think is nothin' might be somethin' after all
Now you know this ain't no through street the end is dead ahead
The poor folks play for keeps down here
They're the living dead

Come on down huh!
Down to Mean Street
They're dancin' now look!
Out on Mean Street

Dance baby!

(Guitar Solo)

It's always 'here and now my friend' it ain't 'once upon a time'
It's all over but the shouting
I come to take what's mine
We're searchin' for the latest thing
A break in this routine
Talkin' some new kicks, ones like you ain't never seen

This is home ah!
Mmm this is Mean Street
It's our home
Only one I know

(This is home) See a gun is real easy
(This is Mean Street) In this desperate part of town
(This is home) Turns you from hunted into hunter yeah
(This is Mean Street) Gonna hunt somebody down
Wait a minute ah... (This is home) somebody said, 'Fair Warning, Lord'
(This is Mean Street) Lord strike that poor boy down!
