Momma say, she can't control us And Daddy don't care He's got to feed us everyday He's workin' hard for the clothes that we wear He's always workin' They gotta leave us at home alone Or with a sitter on the telephone We're makin' trouble it's plain to see There's no love lost for the good gone bad Neighborhood kids at play We'll be in the streets tomorrow With everything we learn today We're the neighborhood kids I'm a neighborhood kid With a juvenile smile we get in trouble An evident crime We didn't mean it Went a bit far We only meant to have a good time Can you believe it? Who's gonna blame us? We're on the run You're always sayin' how we're all too young You never gave us the time of day There's no love lost for the bad boys Neighborhood kids at play We'll be in the streets tomorrow With everything we learn today We're the neighborhood kids from the back yard Neighborhood kids at play We'll be in the streets tomorrow With everything we learn today We're the neighborhood kids from the back yard Don't you know we need love too? We'll be in the streets tomorrow With everything we learn today
