Streetwise - Chris Rainbow

Johnny wanted to be an image on the T. V

Livin' it up in the city

Every night on the town

He threw the dice down

Playin' it up to the crowd

When he sang to the company man

He got better with every line

When it came to the name of the game

Nobody was playing in time

Johnny, you gotta get streetwise

Sha-la-la-la, la-la

Johnny, you gotta get streetwise

Sha-la-la-la, la-la

Johnny always wanted to be a pretender

Signing a deal to forever

Playing all night

But it wouldn’t come right

He just couldn’t get it together

Shooting up with the rest of the band

In the room of a lost motel

Is it gonna get better tomorrow?

Well, Johnny, you can never tell

Johnny, you gotta get streetwise

Sha-la-la-la, la-la

Johnny, you gotta get streetwise

Sha-la-la-la, la-la

Johnny, you gotta get streetwise

Sha-la-la-la, la-la

Johnny, you gotta get streetwise

Sha-la-la-la, la-la

Johnny, you gotta get streetwise

Sha-la-la-la, la-la

Johnny, you gotta get streetwise

Sha-la-la-la, la-la

Johnny, you gotta get streetwise

Sha-la-la-la, la-la

Johnny, you gotta get streetwise

Sha-la-la-la, la-la
