Boulevard Lyrics
Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
Down on the boulevard they take it hard
They look at life with such disregardThey say it can't be won
The way the game is run
But if you choose to stay
You wind up playing anyway
It's okayThe kid's in shock up and down the block
The folks are home playing beat the clockDown at the golden cup
They set the young ones up
Under the neon light
Selling day for night
It's alrightNobody rides for free
Nobody gets it like they want it to be
Nobody hands you any guarantee
NobodyNo, nobody babyThe hearts are hard and the times are tough
Down on the boulevard the night's enoughAnd time passes slow
Between the store front shadows
And the street lights glow
Everybody walks right by like
They're safe or something
They don't knowNobody knows you
Nobody owes you nothin'
Nobody shows you what they're thinking
NobodyHey hey, baby, you got to watch the street
Keep your feet and be on guard
Make it pay, baby
It's only time on the boulevard
It's like this
It's the way it isYeah, yeah, baby
It's only time on the boulevard
