Well the streets are paved
With chewing gum and beer
Where the wisest of men Are the men you don't ever see round here
Where the aftershave Is killing every taste
Where the women forgot What they got all dressed up for
In the very first place
And when all that you need
Is just a little room to breathe When you dance this thin,
thin line
Oh man, you better be kind
And you better be kind
Oh stop wasting,
wasting my time And you better be kind
At the age of sixteen You're feeling wise and old
And the streets of your dreams Seem to be paved with *** and gold
Where the booze makes fools
Feel so light and strong
Where the morning time drops all its Here you go's down
Oh man, what have I done?
When all that you need Is just a little room to breathe
When the best that you can Doesn't cut it for them
When all that you see Is what they want you to see
When you dance this thin,
thin line Oh man, you better be kind
And you better be kind Oh stop wasting,
wasting my time
And you better be kind Oh,
better be kind
