Come Out To Play Lyrics - Ub40

He used to think that it was neat 

When he hung out on the street 

Now that it's his daily beat, he's not so sure 

'Cause he's come to depend 

On a street with a dead end 

And he'll sell you his best friend, so he can score 

[Chorus] 

Boys and girls come out to play 

The junk mans on the streets to say 

He'll make your dreams feel real today 

And steal your minds tomorrow 

Now his thoughts don't seem so clear 

His whole life is filled with fear 

His habit cost him dear in every way 

His girl can't take the heat 

But his friends all cross the street 

Still the needle keeps him sweet 

If he can pay for one more day 

His bones have got no meat 

He's unsteady on his feet 

And he doesn't get to eat, not every day 

What started out for kicks 

Has become a daily fix 

And his girlfriend's turning tricks to pay his way 

[Chorus] 

Boys and girls come out to play 

The junk man's on the streets to say 

He'll make your dreams feel real today 

And steal your minds tomorrow
