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
