Текст песни Harmony Road - Sting

The street where we live is commonly
Known as being the wrong side of town
They look down their noses at you
Like they're entitled to keep you down
Our street has its social issues and violent crime by the bucket load
They laughed when they named it Harmony Road

They say where you're born will have
An effect on how you turn out in life
So how can you make a living when all you have is a pocket knife?
You don't have the choice to run from anothеr violent episode
Wеlcome to life here on Harmony Road

One day, we'll make a break
Get out of here, make no mistake
We'll steal a car, find a happy song on the radio
And never come back to Harmony Road

You walk down the hill and past the
Old factory shuttered for twenty years
There used to be work but you wonder how you'll ever get out of here
If I had a song in me I would pay off all of the debts I owed
I'm all out of tune on Harmony Road

I'll find us some money and I will take you with me, I promise you
I'll buy you some fancy clothes and
We'll do all the things we wanted to
And no one will know that we're any different, we're just à la mode
The king and the queen of Harmony Road

One day, we'll make a break from here
We'll make it big and have no fear
Won't carry the social stigma of being judged by our postal code
And we will be done with Harmony Road

But then in our dreams, are we to be haunted by what we left behind?
That road has a way of pulling you back if ever you give it mind
No matter the riches and all the palaces where we may have strode
We'll always belong to Harmony Road
We'll always belong to Harmony Road
