Concrete Beach
Come on down to the concrete beach
There ain't no sand but it'll burn your feet
We're sittin' in the smog an' the swelterin' heat
An' all our dreams are out of reach
Ain't no pools, ain't no beach
On the wrong side of town, they're out of reach
Lyin' around, like I was dead
It's so hot, it's gettin' to my head
I take a walk, down by the tracks
Len' me some bucks, I'll grab a 6-pack
But you know, I don't have to say
That I'd love to run away
But they're ain't nowhere else we can go
Come on down to the concrete beach
There ain't no sand but it'll burn your feet
We're sittin' in the smog an' the swelterin' heat
An' all our dreams are out of reach
Man, it's hot on the sidewalk
But I'm hangin' out makin' small talk
But you know, I don't have to say
That I'd love to run away
But they're ain't nowhere else
We can go today
Come on down to the concrete beach
There ain't no sand but it'll burn your feet
We're sittin' in the smog an' the swelterin' heat
An' all our dreams are out of reach
Ain't no pools, ain't no beach
Just a fire hydrant an' too much heat
An' what you need might be out of reach
But ya' tough it out on the burnin' street
Come on down to the sweat and sound
The trash and the cars, the two-bit bars
But you know, I don't have to say
That I'd love to run away
But they're ain't nowhere else
We can go today
Come on down to the concrete beach
There ain't no sand but it'll burn your feet
We're sittin' in the smog an' the swelterin' heat
An' all our dreams are out of reach
