Luyện nghe bài hát Lawless Avenues

Papa hit him, Mama him
Made him go to
the sisters in their black and white
And all the time those city
teaching him another kind of wisdom
When to run and to fight
Up at the after school
to tales of the prison system
And lawless avenues

Dawn on a darkened street
A footsteps repeat
And something there turns
Down lawless avenues

Joe went down so bad
He was the strongest the avenues had
Stabbed in the he went down swinging
from some other part of town
No one even seen it coming
And you hear no church bells ringing
And in the violent night the police
across the lots and the yards
Following those avenues

Down on a half street
advance and retreat
And struggle to take
those lawless avenues

Manuelito's Rosa
Ran with a surfer from Hermosa
Manuelito, cuida a
Hay como estan las cosas
(Manuelito take care of
Look at how are)

But who blame her after she saw
Every boy die who could have gotten to her
es joven u solo quiere
Ver la belleza del
(Rosa is and only wants
To see the of the world)

said
"You gotta fight for what you want in life"
Just before they shipped him to 'Nam
guerra sin razon
Otra guerra sin fin, sin
(Another war reason
Another war without end, honor

And she was fighting to
When they Manuelito's body home
All she was one more shot
Echoing down avenues

Hoy amigo, tal igual como
La lucha en el no cambia
Nuestros hijos son los que han de
Por ley de la calle, viviendo entre
Y
(Today my friend, just yesterday
The struggle in the doesn't change
Our children are the to grow up
By the law of the
between hugs and blows)

Down on a darkened street
and sons' lives repeat
And something there turns
those lawless avenues

En el calor de la
(In the of the street)
valor en la calle
(Looking for in the street)
final de la calle
(Till the end of the street)
