The dogs would starve and the kids would howl
And we'd all stay drunk and bored
Seems much worse when I look back now
We don't live there anymore
We don't live there anymore
The trees turn red and the streets seem dead
As we lie there on the floor
I don't forget but I don't regret
We don't live there anymore
We don't live there anymore
And you said as you believe
And hope you know
We'll never have the reason
To come back to this dirty street again
The heroes burn and the tides are turning
The great contagious war
We all had guns and we all had fun
We don't live there anymore
We don't live there anymore
The flags were flown and we all came home
And we all stayed drunk and bored
We did not cry and we did not die
We don't live there anymore
We don't live there anymore
Sometimes it used to cross my mind
Sometimes it used to cross my mind
Sometimes it used to cross my mind
Sometimes it used to cross my mind
And you said as you believe
And hoped you'd never have to lose
To come back to this dirty street again
To come back to this dirty street again
To come back to this dirty street again
guitar solo
guitar solo
The dogs would starve and the kids would howl
And we'd all stay drunk and bored
Seems much worse
When I look back now
We don't live there anymore
We don't live there anymore
Don't live there anymore
We don't live there anymore
