Broken white line no rule of thumb
Smoking headlines can make you turn numb
Gotta get D7tough on mean streets
APeople are rough downtown  gotta get D7tough on mean streets
There's nEever enough to go around

Someone's running scared
Saw him with a gun
Man at the pawn shop never had such fun
Gotta get D7tough on mean streets
APeople are rough downtown
Gotta get D7tough on  mean streets
There's Enever enough to go around

Neon signs drink up the night
Courage is fading no one wants to fight
Gotta get D7tough on mean streets
APeople are rough downtown  gotta get D7tough on mean streets
There's Enever enough to go around
