Have You Heard - Carmine Appice

About the boys in the sleazy backstreets?

'Bout the girls with their dirty minds?

(Have you heard)

What goes on in those seedy dance halls?

'Bout painted ladies getting paid for bad times?

(Have you heard)

'Bout the pimps that spend your money?

'Bout the dirty backside of life?

(Have you heard)

About diseases?

It ain’t funny

Well, I heard that it ain’t no lie

(Have you heard)

What goes on in the streets of downtown?

It’s enough to turn your head

(Have you heard)

About the boys taking cars and running

Through the lights as they turn red?

(Have you heard)

About the streets where death lies waiting

For the girl who’s out too late at night?

(Have you heard)

About the killer that they say is hidin'

Waitin' for another chance to strike?

Sleazy times bought cheap and easy

Security is denied

You’ll be lucky if they let you live

In these crazy times

What to do when the blows come crashin'

And the world seems to get you down?

(Have you heard)

In the state, the violence is risin'

Though they try, they can’t cool it down

(Have you heard)

About the sex and drugs they’re sellin'

Down on Sunset Boulevard?

(Have you heard)

About the dealer whose wings got broken

When he tried to take a cop for a ride?

(Have you heard)

About the judge whose place got raided?

In ten years time, they’re gonna let him out

Sleazy times bought cheap and easy

Security is denied

You’ll be lucky if they let you live

In these crazy times

What to do when the blows come crashing

And the world seems to get you down?

(Have you heard?)

(Have you heard?)

(Have you heard?)

(Have you heard?)

Everybody’s, everybody’s rappin' about it

(Have you heard?)

Oh, baby, it’s all over town

(Have you heard?)

Everybody, everybody, everybody’s singin' about it

(Have you heard?)

It’s all over, all over

All over, all over

(Have you heard?)
