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)
