Lonely on the Streets- Jersey City

Woo ooh, we stand alone,

Woo ohh, it's lonely on the streets tonight

I'll tell you about a place, where the poor write their songs

I'll tell you about a place, rent is cheap but dangerous

Like a stepping razor everyone is a threat,

Better have eyes in the back of your head

The crew in Jersey City won't put down their guns,

The boys on Newark Avenue they will cut you down

The punks in Jersey City ripped up boots dressed in black

The boys are all downtown getting drunk and always tough

Brought across the river, NYC kicked out the poor

This is the new jungle the rich found out, it won't last long

A haven for the artists low income and scum

Our town is full of gangs and rats, the filthiest place I have been

Drugs in the bodega stores, they deliver don't have to tip

Eight year olds running in gangs, beating up people just for fun

Robbing, murder just a fun day in my town

Police are ex gang members, our mayor just gets drunk

City officials go to jail, opportunities for everyone

The crime is very high, but the rent is very cheap

Junkies, killers, oh the city I live in

Hey!

They chase me from my hometown, I moved here to survive

I'll be very lucky, if I get out alive.
