I'm from South Philadelphia up on Avenue C.
I've seen empty hands that was waitin' to freeze up
I've seen Hollywood Boulevard
I spent the night in jail
I've seen an old man have a heart attack in Manhattan
Well he died while we just stood there lookin' at him
I seen mad rollin' drunks
I seen bodies in the street
I saw a man who was sleepin' in his own puke
And a man with no legs crawlin' down
Fifth Street tryin' just to get somethin' to eat.
