Out On The Street
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:G#m
Capo:4th fret
[Intro]
Em B7
When life gets up against you and you've got no time to think.
C B7
There are ones that can't comprehend, so, they slowly turn to drink.
Em B7
Fall far beneath the breadlines to the point where they've got no home.
C B7
Abandoned by the ones they love and their bodies are reduced to skin and
bone.
[Interlude]
Em B7 C B7
Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey.
[Verse 1]
Em B7
We're told to approach with caution but the thing I find demented.
C B7
No one's carried out a risk assessment, so, these things can be prevented.
Em B7
In a world supposed to be for people, still only the rich get rich,
C B7
the working class work to avoid wet sleeping bags that itch.
[Chorus]
G D
I'm calling for solutions, I guess a kind of revolution.
C G D
Replace the institution; with something that can constitute.
G D
'Cos while they're aging like a fine wine, they're leaving us a fine line.
C
Between having clothes and food to eat
B7
and selling sex and drugs out on the [Interlude] street.
[Interlude]
Em B7 C B7
Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey.
[Verse 2]
Em B7
If it all falls down tomorrow or you ever lost your job.
C B7
How long could you keep buying clothes before eyeing them to rob?
Em B7
Oh, it's easy to point blame and anger when you just can't seem to relate.
C B7
Don't you know that's the intention of your government or state?
[End-Chorus]
G D
I'm calling for solutions, I guess a kind of revolution.
C G D
Replace the institution; with something that can constitute.
G D
'Cos while they're aging like a fine wine, they're leaving us a fine line.
C
Between having clothes and food to eat
B7
and selling sex and drugs out on the [Interlude] street.
[Interlude]
Em B7 C B7
Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey.
[Outro]
Em B7
I've tried to grin and bear it but I feel I'm being kind.
C
Tired of beating around the bush, so,
B7 Em B7
now I think its time to speak my mind.
C B7 Em
Speak my mind.
