Lyrics:

Hey

This street honey is a mean street
Living in this street honey needs a mean streak
We've got criminals living in this street
But there's a heartbeat pulse that keeps on pumping
Like a jukebox playing the same dead record
Or a radio in the corner keeps blaring
I gotta feeling this world is using me

This town honey is a dead town
Living in this town honey is a let down
Coming to this town honey is a show down
But there's a heartbeat pulse that keeps on pumping
Some sunshine ray through a crack in the shutter
Or a sight of a light at the end of the tunnel
Still there's a feeling this world is using me

Ha
Action this day
Action this night
We've gotta learn to love to live
You can't say it ain't right

Action this day
Action this night
You've got the power
You've got the power
You've got the power to learn to love to live to love
You can't say it ain't right

Your mind honey is a bleak place
Living in your mind's living in a blank space, hah
Your mind is coming from a rat race
But there's a heartbeat pulse that keeps on pumping
Like a jukebox playing the same dead record
Or a radio in the corner keeps blaring
I gotta feeling that just won't quit, this world is using me

Action this day
Action this night
Oh we've gotta learn to love to live
You can't say it ain't right

Action this day, wow
Action this night, oh
You've got the power
You've got the power
You've got the power to learn to love to live to love
You can't say it ain't right

Hey
Alright

Hey
Action this day
Action this day, give it
Hey, hey, hey
Action this day
Living in this street, honey, living in this street, honey
Needs a mean streak, needs a mean streak, yeah babe
Action this day
Action this day
Action this day
Action this day
