On city streets you need to
Be careful who you speak to
Or look at or touch as that's enough
To get you in too deep
Oh, what a laugh to hurt one
Humiliate and murk one
A country in need where bloods don't bleed
What are you going to do?
Victorian, Georgian, Roman or Norman
Before the Gregorian, violence breeds
Don't matter what era, there's always a fear there
Hops to make beer, that's all you need
It's bait to be faithful but nasty and hateful
People aren't grateful, they sow the seed
Into their offspring, most likely costing
Kids to be fostering idea's that lead to
Fighting, biting, run for your lives
Shanking and spanking, run for your lives
Hitting and spitting, run for your lives
It'll never change, it'll never change
It'll never change, it'll never change
It'll never change
Run for your lives
Run for your lives
Get your head down and hoods up
Don't you look sharp or fix up
If weapons are words then don't be heard
Silence equals peace
Victorian, Georgian, Roman or Norman
Before the Gregorian, violence breeds
Don't matter what era, there's always a fear there
Hops to make beer, that's all you need
It's bait to be faithful but nasty and hateful
People aren't grateful, they sow the seed
Into their offspring, most likely costing
Kids to be fostering idea's that lead to
Fighting, biting, run for your lives
Shanking and spanking, run for your lives
Hitting and spitting, run for your lives
It'll never change, it'll never change
We will never change, we will never change
It'll never change
Run for your lives
Run for your lives
Run for your lives
Run for your lives
