Well, come on down to the concrete beach
There ain’t no sand, but it will burn your feet
We’re sitting in the smog and the sweltering heat
And you can’t surf on a dead end street

Ain’t no pools, there ain’t no beach
On the wrong side of town, they’re out of reach
I’m lying around like I was dead
It’s so hot, it’s getting to my head
I take a walk down by the tracks
Lend me some bucks, I’ll grab a six pack
But you know I don’t have to say
That I’d love to run away
But there ain’t nowhere else we can go today

So come on down to the concrete beach
There ain’t no sand, but it will burn your feet
We’re sitting in the smog and the sweltering heat
And you can’t surf on a dead end street
Come on down to the concrete beach
There ain’t no sand, but it will burn your feet
We’re sitting in the smog and the sweltering heat
And all our dreams are out of reach

Man, it’s hot on the sidewalk
I’m hanging out, making small talk
But you know, I don’t have to say
That I’d love to run away
But there ain’t nowhere else we can go today

So come on down to the concrete beach
There ain’t no sand, but it will burn your feet
We’re sitting in the smog and the sweltering heat
And you can’t surf on a dead end street
So come on down, right now

There ain’t no pools, and there ain’t no beach
Just a fire hydrant and too much heat
And what you need might be out of reach
But you tough it out on the burning street
Come on down to the sweat and the sound
The trash and the cars, the two bit bars
But you know, I don’t have to say
That I’d love to run away
But there ain’t nowhere else we can go today
‘Cos there ain’t nowhere else

Come on down to the concrete beach
There ain’t no sand, but it will burn your feet
We’re sitting in the smog and the sweltering heat
So come on down
