"Dead End Street" lyrics

"Dead End Street"

The sign in the road says we're going nowhere oh yeah

Oh no! Let's go!

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, it broke my heart
Down in the projects you learn pain from the start
And there I learned, 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? (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 (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 an epitaph that no one will read

Nowhere to turn and nothing to lose

So let's go!

Alright!

I been running down this dead end street
I wanna rip through all the faces of the fools I see
I'm lost forever on this dead end street
This is my epitaph that no one will read

Can someone, someone please tell me where I went wrong? (Tell me where I went wrong)
And how many more times will I have to sing this same old song? (Sing this same old song)
Can you tell me, tell me please, tell me where I went wrong? (Where did I go wrong?)
And how many more times will I have to sing this same old song?

The sign in the road says we're going nowhere oh yeah
