Walking down the subway, at the weekend
|
After a good night out on the town
|
There's gangs over here, gangs over there, well there's gangs everywhere
|
You'd better watch out now, if your on your own
|
It's the day of the boys dressed in blue
|
You'd better watch out if one of them looks at you
|
|
|
Chorus:
|
On the streets, of our towns
|
On the streets, all around
|
On the streets, everywhere
|
On the streets, it makes you scared
|
|
|
Standing in a concert, having a good time
|
Paid your money out to see the show
|
In come the cops, looking for trouble 'cos your White men
|
Would you believe that this was Britain '84
|
It's the day of the boys dressed in blue
|
You'd better watch out if one of them looks at you
|
|
|
(Repeat Chorus)
|
|
|
You never see politicians out there standing on the streets
|
They don't care if your kids are fed or got shoes upon their feet
|
They don't know what's happening, they don't see what's going on
|
If they did, they'd all be screaming "What the hell is going on?!"
|
|
|
(Repeat Chorus)
|
|
|
People seem to think if it's in The Sun they've got to believe it
|
Try to tar everybody with the same brush
|
Remember, birds of a feather don't always flock together these days
|
So don't get carried away by the sight of us
|
|
|
(Repeat Chorus)
