Lyrics

Down on the avenue
Nothin's ever new
Everyday people doin' what they got to do
You'll find Mrs. Walker
Yellin' for the kids to come on in
She's got to make the liquor store
To cop a tin that pint of gin
Oh yeah
Down on the avenue
Nothin's ever new (Nothin's ever new)
Everyday people doin' what they got to do
Down on the avenue
Nothin's ever new (Nothin's ever new)
Everyday people doin' what they got to do
On the first and fifteenth
You'll find 'em full of smiles
The state sends them happiness
It only lasts a while
Oh yeah
Down on the avenue (Yeah)
Nothin's ever new (Nothin's ever new)
Everyday people doin' what they got to do
Down on the avenue
Nothin's ever new (Nothin's ever new)
Everyday people doin' what they got to do
Dope heads on the corner
Playing checkers on a box
Smokin' funky cigarettes
Woke up out of tops
Oh yeah
Got to check out the avenue
Got to check out, the avenue
Got to check out the avenue
Got to check out, the avenue
Got to check out the avenue
Got to check out, the avenue
Got to check out the avenue
Got to check out
Down on the avenue (Yeah)
Nothin's ever new (Nothin's ever new)
Everyday people doin' what they got to do
Down on the avenue (Yeah)
Nothin's ever new (Nothin's ever new)
Everyday people doin' what they got to do
Down on the avenue (Yeah)
Nothin's ever new (Nothin's ever new)
Everyday people doin' what they got to do
Down on the avenue (Yeah)
Nothin's ever new (Nothin's ever new)
Everyday people doin' what they got to do
Down on the avenue (Yeah)
Nothin's ever new (Nothin's ever new)
Everyday people doin' what they got to do
Down on the avenue (Yeah)
Nothin's ever new (Nothin's ever new)
Everyday people doin' what they got to do
Down on the avenue (Yeah)
Nothin's ever new (Nothin's ever new)
Everyday people doin' what they got to do
