Hey man, gotta take a stand, so you think that you've been had
I'm here to bet ya, street's gonna get ya, well two out of three ain't bad
[Rhy. Fig 2a]
Hey man, it's gettin' out of hand, cross your heart and hope to die
[Rhy. Fig 3a w/ End 1]
You got yours, and I got mine, I'm gonna get what's comin' to ya
[Rhy. Fig 4 w/ End 1]
'Cause the street giveth and the street taketh away
Where there's no blind justice, no way
[Rhy. Fig 1a]

Hey man, don't you understand, you can run but you can't hide
[Rhy. Fig 1c]
There ain't no life after death, so save your breath (you're gonna)
Be a rock 'n roll suicide
[Rhy. Fig 2b]
Hey man, do you need a hand, but I ain't no blessing in disguise
[Rhy. Fig 3a w/ End 2]
Feel the agony, and the ecstacy, it's gonna burn right through ya
[Rhy. Fig 4 w/ End 2]
'Cause the street giveth and the street taketh away
Where there's no blind justice, no way
[Rhy. Fig 5]

Life's too short, so help yourself, 'cause I don't walk on water
[Guitar only]
[Rhy. Fig 6]
'Cause the street giveth and the street taketh away
Where there's no blind justice, no way
'Cause the street giveth and the street taketh away (repeat)
