IMO, Van Halen wrote the best lyrics to go along with the video below.
At night I walk this stinkin’ street past the crazys on my block and I see the same old faces and I hear that same old talk and I’m searching for the latest thing, a break in this routine, I’m talkin’ some new kicks, ones like you ain’t never seen
This is home, well, this is Mean Street, it’s our home, the only one I know
And we don’t worry ’bout tomorrow ’cause we’re sick of these four walls
Now what you think is nothin’ might be somethin’ after all
Now you know this ain’t no through street, the end is dead ahead
The poor folks play for keeps down here,
they’re the living dead
Come on down, huh, down to Mean Street
They’re dancin’ now, Lord, out on Mean Street
Dance, baby
They’re dancin’ now, Lord, out on Mean Street
Dance, baby
It’s always here and now, my friend, it ain’t once upon a time, it’s all over, but the shouting, I come, I take what’s mine
We’re searching for the latest thing, a break in this routine, talkin’ some new kicks ones like you ain’t never seen
We’re searching for the latest thing, a break in this routine, talkin’ some new kicks ones like you ain’t never seen
This is home, mmm, this is Mean Street, it’s our home, only one I know
See, a gun is real easy in this desperate part of town, turns you from hunted into hunter (yeah), you go an’ hunt somebody down, wait a minute, ah, somebody said fair warning, Lord, Lord, strike that poor boy down
Mean Street

“What is understood doesn’t need to be discussed” – Sammy Hagar.
What dens do these folks shelter in during the winter?
Add them to the list of places I DO NOT want to visit!
Hilarious!
Chinese payback for the opium trade forced upon them at the point of a gun.
A dark, gloom falls on our age as smiling demons reside in our great halls of power. Cold, soulless specters with perfect teeth in icy smiles tell us of the present good times while the blackness of the darkest night descends on our nation.
They “vote” democrat.
Those junkies need a Tom Waits tune. VH is for good time parties!
I can’t enjoy Bug Bunny, Star Trek, and Van Halen like I used to. Running with the devil is a proper after school activity, so I’ve heard.
Perhaps some Don Henley is appropriate here. Despite his notorious leftardism, he is a wickedly effective lyricist. To wit:
It was a pretty good year for predators,
the marketplace was on a roll.
And the land of opportunity
spawned a whole new breed of men without souls.
This year notoriety got all confused with fame,
and the devil is downhearted baby,
because there’s nothing left for him to claim.
Also:
We have a whole new class of opiates
To plug the stench of discontent in these corporation nation states.
Where the loudest live to trample on the least,
they say it’s just the predatory nature of the beast.
But the barons on the balcony are laughing,
and pointing to the pit.
They say “aw look, they’ve grown accustomed to the smell,
now people love that shit”.
We’re working it.
Dirty Laundry
I make my living off the evening news
…
Well, I coulda been an actor
But I wound up here
…
We got the bubble headed
Bleached blonde
Comes on at five
She can tell you ’bout the plane crash
With a gleam in her eye
It’s interesting when people die
Give us dirty laundry

The song that inspired me to purchase my 1st guitar and learn to play.
What’s with the folks bent over at the waist? Serious question.
The fine folks of Philthydelphia continue to vote for politicians who provide these types of urban landscapes; apparently Philthydelpians like having Zombietowns like Kensington; let them fucking choke on it.
again, what is the fascination with jews? roth was a sadistic jew. go re-read all this jews lyrics. how did this jew (and all the rest) come to get hooked up w/ catholics to form a band that got all the necessary professional contacts, management, guidance, development, money and advertising, and become house hold names degrading american youths and destroying the culture and ultimately the nation in the process? how does this keep happening? could there be a system in place to use the entertainment industry to destroy us? maybe a vast conspiracy?
I don’t disagree with your last thought. White Christianity must rise or we are doomed.
White Christians are doomed. Good riddance. The West will never be great or even functional unless it is born anew, and it won’t be the same recipe. Like serfdom, Christianity is a legacy of Roman subjugation that lasted too, too long. The Enlightenment happened after serfdom and Christianity were shoved aside, not before.

This is a good pick also.
