down on the boulevard they take it hard
they look at life with such disregard
refrain
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
the kids in shock up and down the block
the folks are home playing beat the clock
refrain
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 baby
nobody baby
the hearts are hard and the times are tough
down on the boulevard the night’s enough
and time passes slow
between the store front shadows and the street lights 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
post
hey hey baby
you got to watch the street and keep your feet and be on guard
make ya pay baby
it’s only time on the boulevard on the boulevard
it’s like this
it’s the way it is on the boulevard
yeah yeah on the boulevard
it’s only time on the boulevard
