Life on the street ain't what it used to be
Life on the run, look what it's done to me
The city at night, has got nothing to say
So if you come and see it get out of my way
I'm living on the wrong side of town
I'm living on the wrong side of town
Street-Kid, beat-kid through and through
I got more, 'cause I'm better than you
You don't know the meaning of scared
Until you've been thrashed, until you've been dared
I'm living on the wrong side of town
I'm staying on the wrong side of town, 'cause I like it
Ain't no hope when you're all alone
Stay there too long and you won't make it home
The street's are mean and the nights are cold
I warned you once, so now you've been told
I'm living on the wrong side of town
I'm skidding on the wrong side of town
You'd better meet me on the wrong side of town
Cause I..I'm living on the wrong side of town
