Just a small town girl
Livin' in a burqa world
She took the midday train goin' anywhere

Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Teheran
He took the midday train goin' anywhere

A rebel in a smoky road
A smell of smoke and cheap perfume
For a vote they can share the street
Protest goes on and on and on and on

Basijj waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people
Living just to find protesters
Hiding somewhere in the night

Working hard to count my vote
Everybody wants a change
Doin' anything to roll the dice just one more time

Some will win, some will lose
If you fix the vote I will sing the blues
Oh, the struggle never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

Basijj waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people
Living just to find protesters
Hiding somewhere in the night

Please stop beheadin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight people

Please stop beheadin'
Hold on
Streetlight people

Please stop beheadin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight people
