People on the Street

People on the street need a place to go

People on the street need a place to go

Walkin' with the beat if it's not too slow

Walkin' with the beat if it's not too slow

When the night's dark shadow falls

On the sidewalk scenes and the concrete canyon walls.

People on the street need a place to go

People on the street need a place to go.

Walkin' through the night up and down the avenue

Lookin' for a place,

A place to go,

A place to go.

There's a muffled scream from the alley scene

From the alley scene comes a muffled scream

And the siren wails while the system fails

In the steaming heat people walk in the street

People can't run and hide

If you want to feel good then you gotta feel good inside.

People on the street need a place to go

People on the street need a place to go.

Rising through the grates come the fumes of industry

Floating to the sky

Keep walkin' with the beat, walkin' with the beat

Keep walkin' with the beat, walkin' with the beat

Keep walkin' with the beat, walkin' with the beat

When the night's dark shadow falls

On the sidewalk scenes and the concrete canyon walls.

People on the street need a place to go

People on the street need a place to go.
