Mean Streak Lyrics
Overtime everyday of the week still the house ain't big enough, Spend your money so fast that you never see the green, Big, better, best tell me where does it end, Keeping up with the totals is tough, Better open your eyes boy
Overtime everyday of the week still the house ain't big enough, Spend your money so fast that you never see the green, Big, better, best tell me where does it end, Keeping up with the totals is tough, Better open your eyes boy

It was the morning of October 6th, 1960
I was wearing my brown suit
Preparing to leave the house of D.
Shook some hands then adios Brooklyn amigos
Maybe some of them had hopes of seeing me again
Some even said that my judge-Judge Gerald Culkin-
Wouldn't play it by the book
Maybe let us off the hook
But, WOH-OO-WOH, I knew better.
SAL & SALVADOR
Afraid to leave the projects
To cross into another neighborhood
SAL
The blancos and the nigger gangs
Well, they'd kill you if they could.
AUREA & WOMEN
Angel of Mercy, people are suffering
All over the world

Well, I entered the courtroom, state of New York
County of New York, just some spic
They scrubbed off the sidewalk
Guilty by my dress
Guilty in the press
Let The Capeman burn for the murder
Well the "Spanish boys" had their day in court
And now it was time for some fuckin' law and order
The electric chair
For the greasy pair
Said the judge to the court reporter
SAL & SALVADOR
Afraid to leave the projects
To cross
Conditional Lyrics
Curled up on the sofa with your tail between your legs I won't pretend that I know you, but I wish just one time I could get inside your head All the treasures that you're hiding All your secrets never safe Are adding up to lines of frustration I read it on your face You know I love you even when you

The newspapers and the T.V. crews
Well, they'd kill you if they could
AUREA & WOMEN
Angel of Mercy, people are suffering
All over the world
A Spanish boy could be killed every night of the week

But just let some white boy die
And the world goes crazy for blood-Latin
blood.
I don't lie when I speak.
SAL & SALVADOR
Well they shackled my hands
SAL
A heavy belt around my waist to restrain me
SAL & SALVADOR
And they shackled my legs

Hernandez, the "Umbrella Man," chained
beside me
