the sign in the road says we re going nowhere i been running down a dead end street i wanna rip through all the faces of the fools i see and i know i ll never get away cause the gutter taught me early that there ain t no better days for me i guess my childhood broke my heart down in the projects you learn pain from the start that s where i learned to hate the world just another lost soul praying to the night sky alone can someone someone please tell me where i went wrong and how many more times will i have to sing this same old song can you tell me tell me please tell me where i went wrong and how many more times will i have to sing this same old sad sad fucking song i done my time on the city streets y know that corner took a piece of me and my heart and made me an enemy of the world just another lost soul praying to the night sky alone i been running down this dead end street i wanna rip through all the faces i see i m lost forever on this dead end street i ll leave this epitaph that no one will read
