Hazen Street - Fool the world
Hazen street is a semi-known american melodic pop/punk/rock - whatever side-project featuring some well known guys from the hardcore scene such as Freddy Cricien (Madball), Toby Morse (H20), Hoya Roc (Madball) + some guys from west coast punk bands such as The Transplants and guitarist David Kennedy from Angels & Airwaves and Big Car Racer.
The name "Hazen Street" comes from a cell-block located in the infamous Riker's Island prison outside of New York where one of the bands vocalists, Freddy, did time.

LYRICS:
I’ve been to many places
I’ve seen many faces
Soft and hard, battle scarred
I’ve seen prison bars
Not for long, but long enough to write this song
Right or wrong, I’m a product of a battle zone
Lower East Side where it’s not pretty
I see many talk it, but can they really walk it?
On the west side they show no pity
See you walking around you’re bound by only fantasies
Thinking you’re hard, you know that’s not reality
We all see, we know you’re just a wannabe
So fool the world but you can’t fool me
In my home, alone, and on these streets
I’ve seen beefs and walked with heat
What does it all mean to me?
Not a thing, if I dont live to write and sing
About the life, about the strife, about everything.
I’ve seen you come and go, all you tough guy clones
When will you leave it alone?
I’ve seen you come and go, all you tough guy clones
You’re all from front street
You better keep it moving kid,
You dont know what you’re doing here
Fool the world, but you can’t fool (you can’t fool) me
Fool the world, but you can’t fool (you can’t fool) me
Fool the world, but you can’t fool (you can’t fool) me
Fool the world, but you can’t fool (you can’t fool) me!
