[Verse 1]
My friends have
Been demoted to
Stay hey hey
Second class

Someone tells me
Reliable
Big brother
Will never last

Seems like I
Outgrew my station
Sweet young boys turning green
This is for your information

[Chorus]
Mean street
I'd love to see you cry
Mean street
I'd love to see you die
Mean street
I really don't know why
You let me down

[Verse 2]
Look at him
Taking all our glory
Lets kick him out

'Who will say?'
'Don't look at me'
'He'll find out in a roundabout way'

We don't owe him anything
We don't need him anymore
Drop him cold now spread the lies
No-one even said goodbye

[Chorus]
Mean street
I'd love to see you cry
Mean street
I'd love to see you die
Mean street
I really don't know why
Mean street
You let me down
