He walked the street to the corner liquor store
Got some cigarettes and wine and he backed out the door
It didn't work out quite like he thought it would
Now he's back page news down in the neighborhood
(chorus)
And it's boom boom boom
Boom boom boom
Boom boom all night long
Boom boom boom
Boom boom boom
Boom boom all night long
She's up late staring at the TV all alone
Got the front light on for a man who ain't coming home
Baby in the bedroom starts to cry
The sound of the street is her only lullaby
And it's boom boom boom
Boom boom boom
Boom boom all night long
Boom boom boom
Boom boom boom
Boom boom all night long
Downtown, Uptown, cruisin' for a thrill
Nothin' to lose and a whole lotta time to kill
She's up late staring at the TV all alone
Got the front light on for a man who ain't coming home
And it's boom boom boom
Boom boom boom
Boom boom all night long
Boom boom boom
Boom boom boom
Boom boom all night long

The song ought to be our NATIONAL anthem.
The United States is the most murderous,violent, disorderly country in the developed world. We have about 10X (at least)the murders of any Western European country, or Japan.
And please don't try to paint this land of savages in a favorable light by comparing us to some place like Belize or the Ivory Coast or Salvador or some similar 4th world craphole. I mean, I sure HOPE we're better than SOMEBODY.
The north coast should try looking at crime stats per 100,000 residents. And keep in mind that the US is the third most populous country in the world. Good thing hysterics aren't considered a crime or the north coast would have gotten life years ago...
Great show. I just got more in the mail from Netflix.
Cop shows rule.
Sorry, but the 400+ million residents of western Europe together outnumber the denizens of the US, which has more armed violence than all the other G8 countries put together.
And it's not confined to our poorest and most disadvantaged citizens. The violence and incivility of our middle classes is astonishing.
From here, we look like a population of overgrown, spoiled children with zilch impulse control and too many big, powerful mechanical toys to do damage with.
Please save us from the middle class crime wave! Sharpen up, north coast.

Shows most of you don't have taste in music - remember, Craig Brainfart loves the necrophiliac songs - Roundeye's Fat Wet Hole, or Something by Alice Cooper if I'm Not mistaken...................
