ROGER MIRET AND THE DISASTERS LYRICS

"My Own Way"

Walking downtown, the boys by my side
Les Crew, no cares on our minds
Us against them, you know who won
In the summer of ’82 or was it ‘81

Drunken, pissing in a record store
We ran 8th street, that’s for sure
That’s just how it was back then
Life has changed since way back when

A store got robbed, Duane got shot
Garbage strike, it was so fucking hot
Junkies and whores sleeping everywhere
We fought the law and never got beat

Heading down to 99x
My friends got busted, guess who’s next
Police man take me off to jail
The boys pitch in to post my bail

Yeah, yeah, living my own way
Let the pieces fall where they may
[x2]

Did my time, made it out
Found out what life’s all about
Never looked back, never gave in
Paid the price for my sins

New York City, Lower East Side
Call these streets my home with pride
That’s just how it was back then
Life has changed since way back when

Yeah, yeah, living my own way
Let the pieces fall where they may
[x2]
