Boulevard

Down on the boulevard, they take it hard They look at life with such disregard They say it can't be won The way the game is run But if you choose to stay You wind up playing anyway It's okay And though the kids in shock up and down the block The folks are home playing beat the clock Down at the Golden Cup They set the young ones up Under the neon light Selling day for night It's alright Nobody rides for free (nobody, nobody) Nobody gets it like they want it to be (nobody, nobody) Nobody hands you any guarantee (nobody, nobody) Nobody No, nobody, baby The hearts are hard and the times are tough Down on the boulevard, the night's enough And time passes slow (and time passes slow) Between the store front shadows (between the store front shadows) And the streetlights glow Everybody walks right by Like they're safe or something They don't know Nobody knows you (nobody, nobody) Nobody owes you nothin' (nobody, nobody) Nobody shows you what they're thinking (nobody, nobody) Nobody, baby Hey, hey, baby Got to watch the street and keep your feet And be on guard Make it pay, baby It's only time on the boulevard It's like this And it is the way it is (on the boulevard) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby (on the boulevard) It's only time on the boulevard
