[00:13.270]Papa hit him mama kissed him
[00:16.949]Made him go to Catechism
[00:20.312]With the sisters in their black and white
[00:25.949]And all the time those city streets
[00:29.606]Were teaching him another kind of wisdom
[00:33.754]When to run and when to fight
[00:38.939]Up at the playground after school
[00:41.903]Listening to tales of the prison system
[00:49.074]And those lawless avenues
[00:58.148]Dawn on a half darkened street
[01:04.532]A child's footsteps repeat
[01:10.622]And something there turns them
[01:14.090]Down those lawless avenues
[01:23.396]Silent Joe went down so bad
[01:26.446]He was the strongest fighter the avenues had
[01:30.421]Stabbed in the chest he went down swinging
[01:35.626]Someone from some other part of town
[01:39.315]No one even seen the coming down
[01:42.674]And we don't hear no church bells ringing
[01:47.842]And in the violent night the police light
[01:51.009]Sweeps across the lots and the yards
[01:55.036]Following those lawless avenues
[02:00.307]Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Lord
[02:04.053]Down on a half darkened street
[02:09.813]Armies advance and retreat
[02:17.165]Struggle to take control
[02:20.930]From those lawless avenues
[02:49.022]Manuelito's sister Rosa
[02:52.231]Ran away with a surfer from Hermosa
[02:55.503]Manuelito cuida a Rosa
[02:58.508]Hay mira como estan las cosas
[03:01.719]But who could blame her after she saw
[03:04.759]Every boy die who could have gotten
[03:07.372]Rosa es joven u solo quiere
[03:11.023]Ay ver la belleza del mundo
[03:14.259]That were see
[03:15.007]You gotta fight for what you want in this life
[03:17.562]Just before they shipped him overseas to 'Nam
[03:22.139]Otra guerra sin razon
[03:23.417]Otra guerra sin fin sin honor
[03:27.120]She was fighting to understand
[03:29.352]When they shipped Manuelito's body home
[03:34.982]All she heard was one more shot
[03:39.707]Echoing down lawless avenues
[03:45.055]Hoy amigo tal igual como ayer
[03:49.495]La lucha en el barrio no cambia
[03:53.666]Nuestros hijos son los que han de crecer
[03:58.008]Por ley de la calle viviendo entre abrazos
[04:03.240]Y chingazos
[04:32.117]Down on a half darkened street
[04:38.374]Fathers' and sons' fibes repeat
[04:45.237]The something there turns them
[04:47.821]Down those lawless avenues
[04:58.009]Down on a half darkened street
[05:01.074]En el calor de la calle
[05:04.389]Down on a half darkened street
[05:07.771]Buscan valor en la calle
[05:10.681]Down on a half darkened street
[05:14.054]Hasta final de la calle
[05:17.067]Down on a half darkened street
