on the street they're preaching violence
mister man is in your head
on the street the midnight cowboy
needs no gun to shoot you dead
why do i live the way i do
got his heart on the trigger
but he pulled it too late
mister man's feeling hungry
on the street the lights are fighting
searching for someone like you
better find a good messiah
to help the sad and lonely through
why do i hate the things you do
i'm much more black than blue
got his heart on the trigger
but he pulled it too late
mister man's feeling hungry
