Hell Street

He was born in a tenement---
In a cold dark basement
No one to care or hear you cry---
No one to know if you live or die

The losers there are all you meet---
Just a hustle down is how you eat
No dream at home to help you sleep---
A nightmare lived out on Hell Street

Back against the wall---I just can't believe it
Will we care at all---Or turn your back and leave it

On Hell Street---   A fight to live
On Hell Street---    We got to give...a way to get out

All around the traps are laid---
A young man's heart to lead astray
The good or bad he'll have to chose---
Another life we can win or lose

Back against the wall---I just can't believe it
Will we care at all ---Or turn your back and leave it

On Hell Street---    A fight to live
On Hell Street---    We got to give... a way to get out
