1.
G5
Cops and junkies hurl their sophistries
D5
And hail cacophony
E5
Try not hard to shake this off of me
D5
Howl you fools, it's all for naught

2.
       G5
But on 16th street we wait for holiness
D5
Vaccinate ourselves from loneliness
E5
Masquerade through homes of homelessness
D5
And oh, I hope we'll not get over this

Bridge: G5 D5 E5 D5

Refrain:
G5               B5
Here the now is now upon us
A5              D5
Everyone must share this on us
G5                B5
Ancients have no more to loan us
A5                D5
All our debts unpaid 
   G5              B5
On 16th street we rise in numbers
A5                D5
Once a name now just a number
G5                  B5
Scream for all the unsaid, unheard 
A5            D5
prisoners on parade

Bridge: G5 B5 A5 D5 2x

3.
G5
Sweet Dolores, mi mamasita
D5
Seems each day I still re-meet you
E5
Disculpame mi pobrecita
D5
Guess I left things incomplete

4.
    G5
But all this noise will soon be over
D5
So let's drink until you're halfway sober
E5
Red rover's already over
D5
But the last thing that we need is closure

Bridge: G5 D5 E5 D5

Refrain:
G5                 B5
Now it's time for us to swallow 
A5                D5
all this loss until tomorrow
G5                B5
Pay back all the time we've borrowed
A5               D5
Anger well displayed

    G5              B5
On 16th street we fall in numbers
A5                 D5
No one questions, no one wonders
G5                  B5
Scream for all the unsaid, unheard 
A5           D5
hoodlums on parade
