Story Behind The Song

I was watching a documentary on kids that were getting their kicks by playing chicken with moving cars.I was saddened that children could be so bored with their lives that they would attempt something so dangerous.

Song Description

The goings on in the streets of most any city.

Lyrics

(1)
Joey took his turn and made it all right
So Johnny took the chance and it cost him his life
Everyday just seems to end up in jail or a fight
He's just another kid gone bad in the dark of the night
(2)
Praying don't come easy out here on the street
Where nothing you do takes the edge off the mid summer heat
And you're caught somewhere between
What's wrong and what's right
It's just another day gone bad in the dark of the night
(brdg)
The dark of the night gets so quiet
You can hear yourself breathin
And you spend most your time
Searching for someone to believe in
We played it up,we played around
We spit in the wind when they put us down
We let them know we just wanted someone
To understand us
(3)
Sherry bought a car that was just built for speed
But dreams can die real fast when wrapped round a tree
She swore she'd seen everything but she didn't see the light
She's just another girl gone bad in the dark of the night
(4)
This city has lost it's heart and pride's been stripped clean
And these streets don't leave you nothing but hungry and mean
And it don't matter what they call it,it just ain't worth the ride
It's just another dream gone bad in the dark of the night
It's just another dream gone bad in the dark of the night
