Welcome to the Streets


Welcome home Welcome to the streets Dead man’s reel Hearts of iron and steel No emotions or pain to feel Numb from drugs And mind-altering chemicals Humans turn into heartless animals A wise man turns into a fool A good man becomes a criminal There she stood on the corner of the road Once a lady now disposed Walking on needles and shattered dreams The silent night vibrates into a sinner’s delight A loaded gun filled with spite Followed by agonizing screams praying for sunlight A nightmare to remember, a shadow to fight Once so innocent of heart, now turned dark The Devil whispers Welcome home Welcome to the streets
